Community support worker

Make an impact as a MSWA Community Support Worker with permanent part time and Casual opportunities on offer. Be the difference for people living with neurological conditions.

Now is an exciting time to join MSWA. We are a leading disability services provider, supporting thousands of West Australians living with a neurological condition.

We’re looking for experienced, caring and empathetic support workers to join us, with a focus on our Perth northern suburbs locations.

Our Community Support Workers play a crucial role in delivering person-centered care and support in our client’s homes across the metro area. We know the difference a great client experience can make, and we want you to bring your skills and experience to improve the lives of our clients.

Whilst in the client’s home, there will be a few core activities that you’ll ace such as:

• Providing personal care (e.g. showering and dressing) to promote health and well-being.
• Medication administration & assistance.
• Meal preparation, cleaning, cooking, shopping, and other household duties (the small stuff makes a huge difference!)
• Supporting social access such as taking clients to appointments and helping them pursue social/leisure activities.
• Working to meet the unique needs of the client by following their individualized care plans and helping them achieve their defined goals.
  
  

Our ‘must haves’
