About Sydney Disability Support

Sydney Disability Support Pty Ltd is a committed provider of high-quality, person-centred disability support services across Sydney.

We are dedicated to supporting participants to live safe, independent and fulfilling lives while maintaining high standards of dignity, respect, consistency and professional care.

Our organisation values integrity, compassion, cultural responsiveness and continuous improvement. We recognise that developing a consistent and trusted support team is particularly important for participants with complex support and communication needs.

About the Role

We are currently seeking experienced Disability Support Workers to join a small and consistent support team providing person-centred support within South-West Sydney.

The role involves supporting participants with complex disability, communication and daily-living support needs. Experience supporting people with autism, limited or non-verbal communication, structured routines and complex support requirements will be highly regarded.

This is an ongoing role intended for support workers seeking regular shifts and a genuine long-term commitment.

Continuity and consistency are extremely important within this support environment. We are looking for support workers who are prepared to take the time to learn each participant's individual communication styles, routines, behaviours, preferences and support needs while developing trusted and professional relationships with participants and their families.

Fluency in Bengali is required for this particular position due to the communication requirements of the support environment and the need to communicate effectively with participants and/or their family.

This is a language and communication requirement only. Applicants are not required to be Bangladeshi or of any particular race, ethnicity or national origin.

Familiarity with Bangladeshi culture, family values and household practices is highly desirable and may assist in providing culturally responsive and respectful support.

Applicants from all cultural backgrounds who can meet the communication and support requirements of the position are welcome to apply.
