Disability Support Worker Roles

Love what you do. The National Disability Services (NDS) reports 96% of people working in the disability sector like the work they do. Disability Support Workers may be supporting people to access the health system, find a job or learn how to cook, go surfing or play golf. Every day is different.

We can offer flexible part time roles for people with study or family commitments.  Part time staff are offered a fortnightly rotating roster so there’s a variety of set shifts to make planning easier. If you are interested in a role as a Disability Support Worker with Multitask please fill in the application form.
