🧡 **MALE DISABILITY SUPPORT WORKERS WANTED** 🖤

**We have participants waiting to be matched with male support workers!**

At NDIThrive, choice and control matters. Several of our participants have specifically requested male support workers, and we are recruiting to meet their individual preferences and support needs.

📍 **Currently based in Bangholme VIC 3175**
🌿 **Moving to our new farm in Pearcedale VIC 3912 in October**

🏠 IN-HOME + 🐄 FARM-BASED SUPPORTS

We’re looking for experienced male Disability Support Workers who are confident supporting participants with higher and more complex needs and who are happy to work across both our in-home & farm-based services.

Versatility is essential.

One day you might be providing structured 1:1 support in someone’s home — meal prepping, assisting with light household duties, supporting daily routines and assisting with medications.

The next, you could be out on the farm supporting participants with animal care, horticulture, cooking, art, life skills and other hands-on activities.

We need people who can adapt their approach, think on their feet and confidently move between both environments while keeping the participant’s individual needs, goals, safety and choices at the centre of their support.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

✓ Previous experience supporting higher-needs and/or complex participants
✓ Confident working both independently in-home and as part of our farm team
✓ Versatile, adaptable and reliable
✓ Comfortable working with animals and outdoors including reptiles
✓ Professional communication & documentation skills
✓ A genuine understanding of person-centred support, dignity, choice and control

**ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS**

Applicants must have:

✓ Medication Assistance training
✓ Manual Handling training
✓ DoFoodSafely certificate
✓ Current First Aid & CPR
✓ NDIS Worker Screening Check
✓ Working with Children Check
✓ Police Check
✓ Current Driver Licence
✓ Reliable vehicle with comprehensive insurance
✓ ABN

If you have the experience, qualifications and flexibility we’re looking for, we want to hear from you.

19/04/2026

As we come to the end of the school holidays, we’ve been reflecting on what has been a big (and very rewarding!) couple of weeks at NDIThrive.

Our first week kicked off at full pace with over 30 attending each day — the farm was buzzing with energy, laughter, and activity. We loved seeing the genuine connections forming — from gentle animal interactions to hands-on engagement in horticulture, gardening, cooking, and creative arts.

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be getting the keys to our new farm in Pearcedale and beginning the transition across. Don’t panic — we’ve planned this carefully and have extended our time to ensure the move is smooth, especially for our beautiful animals. Their wellbeing (and a seamless experience for our clients) is our top priority.

The new location is only around 20 minutes away, and throughout the move we’ll continue operating and welcoming new clients and staff as we grow.

There are some bittersweet moments too. Last week we said goodbye to someone very special to the NDIThrive family — Dylan. Our reptile master, youth worker, and all-round legend has been a huge part of our journey. From sharing his passion for animals to building meaningful connections with participants, Dylan has left a lasting impact on so many. He’s heading off to pursue his career supporting young people — something he has worked hard to study and prepare for. While we’ll miss him greatly, we couldn’t be prouder and wish him every success. Our door is always open if he ever finds his way back down this way.

On a brighter note, we’re excited to welcome Meri to the team. With a wealth of knowledge and a lifetime of experience, we know she will be a fantastic addition and fit right in.

As the colder mornings settle in, stay warm — and remember we’re here for all your support needs. Whether it’s on the farm, in the community, or in-home supports, we’re ready to help.
