Is Nextt the right fit for you?
You’re independent, reliable and accountable.
You have 1-2 years’ of disability support experience.
You are qualified – we need people with a minimum of Cert IV in Aged Care/Disability Care/Community Services or equivalent.
While we’re talking about certification, you’ve also got a current First Aid and CPR Certificate, and have passed a Working With Children check, National Police Check and manual handling check.
You’ll be on the road a bit, so you’ll need a full driver’s license and a car that can be trusted.
You’ll also need a phone so clients can contact you while you’re on the road.
Finally, you’ll need to have the right to work in Australia, and 100 points of ID proof – just so we can be sure who you are.
Bonus points? In addition to the qualifications outlined above, we like to work with people who:
Have proven experience in delivering a client-centred approach to their work.
Have some existing experience – with mental health services in particular.
Can demonstrate knowledge and understanding of physical, intellectual, and psycho-social disabilities.
Some proven experience with hoist and manual handling.

So, what will you actually be doing? The best thing about working with Nextt is that no two days will be the same. You’ll be getting up to:
Assisting people with daily living, with a focus on self-care and high intensity personal care activities.
Helping customers develop skills and participate in community activities.
Implementing a client-centred approach in delivering services and support.
Providing community access to clients so they can improve social skills and confidence.
Assist with high-level manual handling tasks.
Work with people of all ages, cultures, genders, LGBTIQ+ backgrounds, CALD backgrounds and life circumstances.
