About the Role

This is a meaningful career opportunity where you can make a positive impact on people's lives. As an Intellectual Disability Support Specialist, you will be working with adults who have intellectual disabilities, supporting them to enjoy great lives at home and in their communities.

The role involves supporting individuals to grow their independence and learn skills for daily living, such as using public transport, getting a job, managing money, and cooking meals. You will also help people with their individual needs and daily activities like shopping, cleaning, showering, and attending medical appointments or administering medication.

You will be driving vehicles to transport people to places in the community, supporting them to recognize and respond to emotional overwhelm, and helping them plan and achieve their goals. Your calm nature and confidence to work with challenging behaviors will make a significant difference in the lives of those you support.

We are committed to ensuring people with intellectual disabilities have a good life and are valued contributors to their own community. If you share our values and are passionate about making a difference, we encourage you to apply.
