About us

We're InLife. A not-for-profit disability support provider that specialises 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 (and we love to make that happen!). That's why our assistants are so important.

Our clients may have physical disability, acquired brain injury, neurological conditions, intellectual disability or autism. We're honoured that many of our clients rely solely on InLife for their essential support needs. Nobody else. Just us.

Our teams are based in Melbourne, Geelong and regional Victoria, including Benalla, Wangaratta, Stawell and Bendigo.

Roster and Availability:

• Shifts include weekday, evening and weekend availability

• 2-4 hour shift length

• Flexibility to fill in shifts for staff leave and pick up extra shifts

To do a great job, you'll need:

• Experience supporting people with behaviours of concern (BOC), autism, and mental health

• Experience supporting people with high physical support needs and PEG feeding

• Understanding of trauma-informed care

• Ability to problem-solve and think outside the box

• Observant to the finer details; detail-oriented

• Well-organised and thoughtful, including supporting clients to plan for significant events

• Comfortable forming a genuine bond with the client

• Exuberant and engaging, with a mature outlook on life

• Enjoy outdoor activities and can be a positive role model

• Independent and competent with life skills such as laundry and household chores

• Ability to follow documentation protocols

• Full driver's licence and willingness to drive clients in your own car and in clients' cars/vans

**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 and current recommendations about vaccination can be found on ATAGI website.

InLife is committed to ensuring the rights, safety and wellbeing of all children and young people. We have a zero tolerance of child abuse and every InLife employee has a responsibility to make sure all children and young people are safe and feel safe.

Benefits

• We offer great pay, generous benefits and a supportive team culture

• You can also access 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

At InLife, diversity and inclusion is part of our DNA. We celebrate the amazing differences we all bring to our work and we 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 things such as your gender identity, disability, age, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation or cultural background - because they simply aren't relevant to doing an awesome job (and you are protected from this kind of discrimination under Australian law)

We also know that we continue to learn more about inclusion every day, so if there is something you think we could do differently to make InLife a place you could picture yourself working, we're all ears.
