Is this you?
You will be someone who is caring and compassionate, who truly values the opportunity to help others. You will be motivated and reliable, with an awesome work ethic and who takes initiative.
As independent contractors, support workers may often be left feeling isolated or overwhelmed as they navigate an ever changing industry. VGSS offers a unique opportunity where you have the freedom of being in control of your own business and work life, with the additional support of a great network, stability, guidance, learning and development, and amazing opportunities regularly provided. The VGSS team also handles a number of administrative and organisational tasks for you to ensure that you can focus your time and energy on supporting your clients.
We believe in facilitating meaningful and long-term connections. We have found that participants often get stuck in a ‘revolving door of support’, where a person-centered approach to support cannot truly be achieved. We aim to connect independent support workers and NDIS participants based on who they both are as an individual, creating the opportunity for a genuine connection.
This is an independent contractor position that requires you to have your own ABN, insurance, police check, reliable transport, blue card, yellow card and NDIS worker screening check. At VGSS, we require the independent contractors we work with to hold double vaccination status.
