About us

We're InLife, a not-for-profit disability support provider that specializes in working with people with frequent and complex support needs, including 24/7 assistance.

We build teams around every client, depending on each person's needs and preferences. We partner with people with any type of disability who want to live independently in the community. That's why our assistants are so important.

Our clients may have physical disabilities, acquired brain injuries, neurological conditions, intellectual disabilities, or autism. We're honoured that many of our clients rely solely on InLife for their essential support needs.

To do a great job, you'll need:

  • Good judgement and common sense, listening skills, a willingness to learn, and a commitment to our values.
  • Experience with catheter care, peg feeding, and bowel care.
  • Experience with dysphasia.
  • Experience with Type 1 diabetes.
  • Experience in personal care (showering and dressing) and assistance with domestic duties.
  • Experience supporting people with a physical disability including transfers/use of equipment and confidence in hoisting.
  • Great patience and the willingness to build rapport with your client.
  • Experience in mental health and behaviours of concern would be an advantage but not essential.
  • Enthusiasm and passion for supporting people with disabilities to live great lives.
  • Commitment to working with a care team approach, including guidance from professionals.
  • Full driver's licence and willingness to provide transport in your own vehicle (reimbursement for costs available).
  • Willingness to work varied shifts including early mornings, evenings, weekends, short shifts, sleepovers, and active night shifts.

Please note - when you apply you will receive an email asking you for some further details - please look out for it
As part of our recruitment process, certain checks will be undertaken with your permission, including an NDIS Worker Screening Check that you must have before you can start work.
We encourage all of our staff to be vaccinated for COVID-19.

Benefits

  • Great pay, generous benefits, and a supportive team culture.
  • Access to salary packaging (can mean extra take-home pay).
  • Opportunity for career progression - a clear career path for assistants who want to progress into team leader or coordinator roles.

A word about diversity and inclusion

At InLife, diversity and inclusion is part of our DNA. We celebrate the amazing differences we all bring to our work and actively ensure that everyone feels safe and supported in our workplaces.

We welcome and encourage applications from everyone and our hiring decisions will never be based on irrelevant factors.
