JOB DESCRIPTION

Disability Support Worker

The NDIS Workforce Capability Framework describes this role as a General Support Worker for services funded under the NDIS. Persons working within this role are responsible for using the strategies determined in the participant's support plan.

All practices are participant-focused and promote their choices, rights and decisions. Due to the variable nature of participants, this role requires the worker to promote participants' voices, choices and report any areas of concern. The participant is at the centre of all practices. The disability support worker must apply the Child Safe Standards in their practices.

Workers are required to follow all policies and procedures and report to management:
  • feedback from participants (positive, constructive and complaints)
  • changes in participant circumstances or environment
  • work health and safety issues and concerns
  • if you think that the participant is experiencing discrimination, exploitation, neglect, abuse or violence
  • need for resources to undertake the role
  • when unsure of appropriate practices
  • when unsure of actions that should be undertaken
  • stressed or anxious feelings
