Abilities Community Services has positions open for skilled staff supporting adults with complex developmental disabilities/neurodiversity, in a union environment.
Join a dynamic team that participates in daily recreational activities and community events in Victoria and the surrounding areas.

This position is Monday to Friday (Stats and Holidays excluded), 32.5 hour a week.

Here at Abilities we thrive on our motto of "No Challenge is Too Great", therefore we pride ourselves on supporting participants with a variety of needs and challenges. Day program staff must be able to handle stressful situations when working in this environment as they will be faced with escalations throughout the day. But again, No Challenge is Too Great.

Training:

We provide CPI training on site to ensure our staff are the skills they need to handle the physical challenges they will face throughout their workday. CPI training includes proactively supporting participants to avoid an escalation, interventions to take when dealing with physical and verbal escalations, and important self care techniques to avoid burnout.

If you like to be outdoors and enjoy being creative, come and join us and experience what our Day Program has to offer.
