OVERVIEW

Are you passionate about making a difference in people’s lives? We are seeking dedicated individuals to join our team as Community Support Workers working on a casual basis in Streaky Bay
Eyre and Far North Local Health Network has moved to a Consumer Directed Care model for the provision of aged care, disability, and support services. This allows consumers to maintain greater control over their lives by allowing them to make choices about the services they receive and who delivers those services. Consumers are encouraged to actively participate in identifying and setting goals, and to determine what level of involvement they want in managing their own care arrangements.
Under this model of care, the funding associated with the role of the Community Support Worker is controlled by consumers, rather than by the health provider. This means that consumers have an active role in determining the shifts that are available, the duties that are performed, the frequency of demand for the service, and the choice of provider organisation.
The Community Support Worker is integral to supporting this model of care by providing services including personal care, medication support, cleaning, meal preparation, transport and social support, to persons who are aged, frail or disabled and who wish to remain living in their own home with some assistance, or are living in a Residential Aged Care facility. At the WHA4 level you will provide personal care and support to clients with complex care needs.
Community Support Workers need to be flexible, conscientious and empathetic and be able to work autonomously in the community. They will work closely and collaboratively with the consumer, their family and other health professionals, to provide quality outcomes and maintain consumer independence where possible.
To be appointed to the WHA4 level you must have completed Certificate III or higher in Individual Support. (Aged Care, Disability or Home and Community)
