WHO WE ARE:

At Unisson Disability, we are solid in our belief that no one should be defined by their disability.
We are passionate about enabling people with disability to live their best lives, in a world that can feel more restrictive for them than for others. We’ve been around for 99 years – no mean feat in this dynamic sector! The double S in our name is no typo either – you’ll get used to it, it’s a reference to our previous name ‘Sunshine’, a legacy for our groundbreaking founder, Dr Lorna Hodgkinson.

ABOUT THE POSITION:

Seeking dedicated and adaptable casual support professionals to join our team to focus on personalised support. Able to explore meaningful activities to enrich clients’ lives, encouraging community support and daily living skills. Their support requires responsible and meticulous staff ensuring each client’s needs are met with care and precision.
The responsibilities of the position include:
-

Support and encourage clients to participate in activities within the home and in the wider community.

• Support clients with their personal care (toileting, showering, grooming and dressing) where this is part of the client’s person-centred plan.
• Use the manual handling techniques that are specified in a client’s comprehensive person-centred plan.
• Transport a client to appointments or activities as required in vehicles or on public transport.
• Support each client and interact with their family members and other stakeholders respecting their dignity, cultural background and religious beliefs.
• Be part of developing, implementing, keeping records and reviewing each client’s comprehensive person-centred plan and behaviour support plan.
• Work co-operatively as part of a team and treat all colleagues with respect.
• Respond to all incidents and injuries in accordance with Unisson’s policies and procedures and the NDIS Quality Safeguards Standards.
