Support Person, and Community Connector in Burton – 5 hours every Saturday

I am a young man living with my family in Burton, eager to build connections and engage in meaningful roles in my local community. I enjoy bowling, music, hiking, hosting parties, and cooking BBQs at gatherings. I am passionate about helping others, contributing to my community and caring for the environment through recycling. One day, I hope to have a place of my own to call home.

I am looking for someone to support me every Saturday, and help me become familiar with my local community. This role isn’t entirely defined, so I need a helping hand to explore and establish a routine.

I can be spontaneous but I do best when I have consistent, predictable and trusted support, who does not judge or make assumptions. You’ll hold space when things get messy, stay consistent when things get wobbly, and gently — but firmly — use everyday moments to teach, guide, and support everyday decision-making. It’s about being real, reliable, and respectful.

This role would suit someone who believes they can:

Make a positive and patient contribution to someone’s life
Appreciate the authority of family
Thoughtfully address challenges
Plan with someone to facilitate positive decision-making
Communicate with confidence and consistency
Teach and guide others toward informed and healthy choices
Provide long-term, familiar support that fosters trust and stability
I am seeking someone to support me for 5 hours on Saturdays 11:00am – 4:00pm, and, potentially a weekday evening once we get to know each other.

The role commences at level 2.1 casual rate of $43.23 per hour, Saturday loading apply (i.e., $60.52 per hour).

All applicants must have or be willing to obtain:

Driver’s licence and reliable vehicle
A current NDIS Worker Check
First Aid Certificate

Support person - Southern Adelaide . I’m a 26-year-old woman looking for someone who can walk alongside me in my move into the city to study at UniSA. I have a clear idea on what I want my life to look like, but I cannot do all of it on my own.

Although I have lived independently before, I struggle to manage self-sufficient living to the fullest, both as a tenant and as a student. As such, one of my highest priorities is to help me build skills necessary for a successful work/life balance.

My studies will be my highest priority in the coming years, and along with wanting a great student life, I also want to integrate into Adelaide and its culture. This may include learning skills such as navigating the city efficiently and being active in many of Adelaide’s art festivals. I am living with a severe social phobia, which impacts my ability to mask and hold conversations with other people. I believe part of my success in moving will be to learn grounding techniques and maintaining both my mental and physical health.

I am looking for a person who is a calm, empathetic, only a bit older than me, a good listener, and gives me space when I need it most. However, they also need to help me with staying on track with my responsibilities, develop routines, and provide multiple options when I’m unsure on how to next proceed. Knowing Adelaide really well will also go a long way in supporting me.

My hobbies include Dungeons and Dragons, drawing, and video games. I love to talk about anime and all types of technology. I like going to fan conventions, and would like to learn more about cosplay, fashion, and fitness.

Requirements for position:

• High school diploma or equivalent

• Previous experience in a similar role preferred

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills

• Ability to work independently and as part of a team

• Compassionate and patient demeanour

• Ability to handle stressful situations with calmness and professionalism

• Basic computer skills

• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation

Not negotiables:

First Aid certificate with CPR
NDIS worker check
National police check

Application is online via Employment Hero. See link in comments
