Make a Real Difference – Join Our Caring Team!
Are you a compassionate and dependable brain injury support worker looking to make a meaningful difference in someone’s life? We are seeking a dedicated brain injury support worker for a 24-hour shift (8:00 AM–8:00 AM) to support a client living with a brain injury. Although this is a 24-hour role, overnight support is generally only required if the client needs assistance using the bathroom.
This is a rewarding opportunity for a brain injury support worker to provide one-on-one care at home and out in the community, helping the client maintain independence, safety, and quality of life.
Key Responsibilities:
- Support with daily routines and personal care
- Attend a local day centre (board games, cooking)
- Accompany the client to hydrotherapy sessions and family visits
- Be available overnight to ensure safe bathroom access if needed
The client follows a regular routine, preferring to be in bed by 6:30 PM and usually asleep by 9:00 PM. Overnight needs are minimal, focused on fall prevention and safety.
About You:
- Experience as a brain injury support worker or in a similar role is preferred
- Calm, kind, and attentive, especially during times of fatigue or confusion
- Comfortable providing care over a full 24-hour period, including overnight supervision
If you're a skilled brain injury support worker who values person-centred care and wants to help someone live as independently as possible, we’d love to hear from you.
