- Institution: Ermha Ltd
- Institution Description:
This job isn’t for everyone. At ermha365 we work with clients with some of the most complex mental health and disability support needs in Victoria. We’re a lifeline for people who often feel like a “square peg in a round hole” - those who experience stigma and discrimination, and are ostracised or excluded from the simple things that most of us take for granted. In many cases we have become the provider of last resort, although we see ourselves as the provider of first choice. We believe in the potential of everyone. We never give up, and we never give in.
- Job Description:
We assist & support individuals (consumers) in their own homes and community to develop skills and abilities to gain independence to complete day to day tasks. Our goal is to enable rather than to ‘do’, to help promote independence, development and confidence in our consumers. Our success will enable them to have the voice and choice to thrive in their local communities. We service the whole of the greater Melbourne and Geelong regions. Further, the role entails:
Provide 1:1 & 2:1 support to consumers in their own home and community setting
Meet the individual needs according to an established behavioural support plan
Developing professional relationships with individuals, their families and others in the community
Providing accurate and timely case notes so that others can provide a consistent experience for consumers
Provide support to assist consumers to work towards their individual goals
- Requirement:
Passionate to assist others within the community to lead independent and fulfilling lives
Patient and emotionally resilient with effective listening skills & an adaptable communication style
Capability to advocate for others and build sustainable support networks
The ability to work autonomously and within a team whilst making a positive and effective contribution through various means of communication platforms to achieve shared outcomes
Prior experience supporting people with mental disabilities where challenging behaviours are common, either through work or lived experience. Theoretical knowledge beneficial.
It is a requirement for our Support Workers to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and meet all compliance requirements in relation to NDIS Work Screening, Working With Children’s Check, work rights and possess a current & valid driver’s licence.
