Who is this for?

Anyone interested in becoming a disability support worker on the North West Coast or Northern regions of Tasmania who has a jobactive provider.

Improving the lives of people with disability

Disability support workers provide physical, social and emotional support for people with disability through a person-centred approach. The support is across all areas of life, including participation, employment, achievement of personal goals, and inclusion in the community.

Disability service providers value support workers who are passionate about improving the lives of people with disability and are:

• Patient
• Effective communicators
• Resilient
• Respectful
• Creative and problem solvers

Selection Process

The Program involves a screening process which provides ‘right fit’ jobseekers an opportunity to participate in an Assessment Centre. This will be an opportunity to gain a better understanding of what a role in the disability sector might look like and provide exposure to local employers.

Jobseekers will complete activities at the Assessment Centre and employers will then offer successful candidates an interview, employment, or work experience opportunities.

More information about starting out in the disability sector can be found on the Carecareers website and www.carecareers.com.au/Tasmania 

NDS will be in contact with candidates throughout the process. If you have any questions please reach out to us at submit enquiry/feedback or (03) 6212 7303.
