  • Previous experience supporting people with complex behavioural support needs is preferred but not essential.
  • Flexibility to work rostered shifts including days, evenings, sleepovers, and weekends.
  • A calm nature and confidence to work with challenging behaviours.
  • Comfortable and proficient in using computers and tablets daily.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Physical fitness to provide necessary physical support.
