ABOUT THE ROLE:

Link clients to other providers, community groups, or services (like housing, job training, or mental health support) if extra help is needed.

• Connecting with the Community:

Work with local community groups, service providers, and government agencies to make sure clients have access to all available supports.

• Supporting Daily Living:

Hands on support. Help with everyday tasks like personal care, meal preparation, shopping, social participation, and attending appointments.

• Educating Families and Carers:

Guide and support families or carers so they feel confident in helping their loved ones live safely and independently.

• Support in Justice or Youth Services (if applicable):
