When most people consider careers in the NDIS they typically think about support work roles, but there are many other career opportunities at NDIS organisations.
There are multiple roles in support work at Assist Community Services that can be both rewarding and flexible. Our workforce includes staff who have made support work their career. University students who use support work as a way to put themselves through Uni, trades people who have entered their second career, parents who love the flexibility of working school hours, and shift workers who love the flexibility of nightwork. No matter what draws them to support work, we find that staff often comment on how fulfilling their employment in support work is.
Each day as a support worker is unique, filled with different activities and interactions. It's a job that requires flexibility, empathy, and a genuine desire to help others. While the tasks might change, the core of what we do remains the same: supporting our participants to live the life they want to live, how they want to live it.
