Disability Support Worker (High Care - Complex Needs | Pediatric Support)

Engagement Type: Contract (Sole Trader)

Sector: Disability Support | NDIS

Organisation: Discover Nursing Australia Pty Ltd

About Us

At Discover Nursing Australia, we pride ourselves on recruiting compassionate, skilled, and reliable Disability Support Workers (DSWs) who provide meaningful care and companionship to individuals living with disability. We aim to uphold the dignity, comfort, and independence of every participant we support-especially those with complex needs.

We provide tailored in-home support that empowers participants to live safely and as independently as possible, all while being supported in their familiar home environment.

About The Opportunity

We currently have a specialised opportunity for an experienced DSW to support a young female participant (age 9) living with Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis Type 2 (CLN2). This is a rare, degenerative neurological condition that requires high-level, attentive support.

You will be providing full assistance with daily living alongside the participant’s loving and supportive mother, who remains present 24/7 to help guide and support the care routine.

This is a contractual role - you will operate as a sole trader, giving you greater flexibility, higher hourly pay, and autonomy in how you deliver your service.

Support Requirements Include

• Seizure monitoring and management (silent seizures common - must remain alert).
• PEG feeding management (experience essential).
• Oral suctioning as required.
• Continence care, including regular incontinence aid changes.
• Full assistance with all activities of daily living (personal hygiene, repositioning, etc.)
• Comfort and reassurance, as she spends most of her day in a hospital bed.
  
  

What We Offer

• Operate as a sole trader - full control over your hours.
• Higher hourly rate - be paid for your skill and experience.
• 24/7 access to our clinical nurse mentors (based in Sydney).
• Professional indemnity and public liability insurance provided.
• Take time off when needed - no rigid rosters.
• Admin support and guidance for those interested in growing their own business.
  
  

Ideal Candidate

• Confident and competent with complex clinical care tasks.
• Calm, compassionate, and experienced working with children.
• Comfortable working in a team with the participant’s family.
• Vigilant and capable of monitoring silent seizures.
  
  

Eligibility & Requirements

• Certificate III or IV in Individual Support (or equivalent).
• Must have experience in:
• PEG feeding.
• Seizure monitoring.
• Oral suctioning.
• Personal & continence care.
• Valid ABN (free and quick to apply under personal name).
• Police Check (within 3 years).
• Working With Children Check (WWCC).
• NDIS Worker Screening Check (NDISWC).
• Current First Aid (within 3 years) and CPR (within 1 year).
• Completed NDIS Worker Orientation Module: workers/training-course
