Community Inclusion Disability Support Worker

At Crosslinks, we’ve supported people with disabilities for over 25 years. We know that great support comes from people with life experience, and a genuine care for others – and we value that just as much as formal qualifications.

Whether you're returning to work, looking for a change of pace, or balancing family commitments, this could be the right fit.

A Day in the Life of a Crosslinks Support Worker

Each day is shaped by the person you're supporting – their goals, interests, and what matters to them out in the community. Some days are full of social connection and activities, while others are about providing encouragement and routine in everyday settings.

Your day might involve:

• Supporting someone to attend a local group, class, or appointment
• Enjoying a walk, coffee, or trip to the shops together
• Encouraging life skills like budgeting, catching public transport, or planning the week ahead
• Assisting with transport using your car or a Crosslinks vehicle
• Keeping clear, accurate notes and checking in with your team as needed

The best part? You’ll support the same people regularly, giving you the chance to really get to know them and share in their progress.

You’ll Bring:

• A calm, steady presence and the ability to build trust
• Genuine empathy and a people-first mindset
• Strong communication and listening skills
• Patience, flexibility, and a respectful approach to others’ choices and routines
• Practical life experience, whether from raising a family, past employment, volunteering or community involvement
