Job Description

Are you looking for an active and rewarding role where you can truly make a difference?

We are seeking male support workers between the ages of 20 and 35 who are proactive, energetic, and positive to support a young man with an acquired brain injury (ABI) and epilepsy. This role is perfect for someone who enjoys staying active, has a sense of adventure, and thrives on variety.

In this role, you'll be helping him enjoy a fulfilling, independent lifestyle by engaging in activities like bike rides, exploring the community, trying out new hobbies, encouraging healthy meal planning and preparation, and assisting with appointments. There is no personal care involved, but you will play a vital role in providing companionship, encouragement, and support in his day-to-day activities.

What Your Day Could Look Like

Every day is different! You might find yourself riding bikes together, discovering new cycling routes, visiting local attractions, supporting him in pursuing his interests and hobbies, assisting him to appointments, or planning and preparing healthy meals together. The focus is on building confidence, fostering independence, and creating a positive, active routine.

Key Responsibilities

Supporting with outdoor activities like cycling, exploring nature trails, or visiting local attractions. Encouraging and facilitating participation in hobbies, social events, and other meaningful activities. Promoting independence by helping him develop new skills and routines. Encouraging healthy meal planning and assisting with meal preparation to support a balanced lifestyle. Assisting with appointments, including medical visits or other necessary meetings, and providing transportation if needed. Ensuring safety and well-being during activities, particularly with epilepsy care plans. Building a strong, positive relationship through trust, humour, and encouragement. Adapting daily plans to suit his needs and interests. Working collaboratively with family members and the wider support team. Maintaining accurate records of progress, activities, and observations.

About You

We're looking for someone who is enthusiastic, motivated, enjoys staying active, and is passionate about healthy living. A love for the outdoors, a good sense of humour, and a genuine interest in making a positive impact are essential. While previous experience in support work is beneficial, the right attitude and approach are what truly matter.

What You Bring:

A proactive and encouraging personality, with a can-do attitude. A passion for staying active, healthy eating, and helping others enjoy an active lifestyle. Strong communication and interpersonal skills. Patience, adaptability, and a creative approach to problem-solving. Confidence in managing epilepsy care plans (training provided). Ability to assist with and transport to appointments as required.

What We Offer

A role filled with variety, fun, and the chance to make a real difference. Comprehensive training and support tailored to ABI and epilepsy care. Opportunities for career progression, including the potential to move into a Team Leader role. A competitive salary and benefits package. A supportive and positive team environment where your contributions are valued.

Why Join Us?

This is more than just a job - it's an opportunity to work in a role that is active, meaningful, and deeply fulfilling. You'll help create opportunities for growth, independence, healthy living, and enjoyment while forming a strong, supportive connection with a young man eager to embrace life's adventures.

If you're ready to make a difference while staying on the move, apply today. Let's build something positive and rewarding together!
