Nextt are seeking dedicated and compassionate Disability Support Workers in Port Macquarie to provide one-on-one support for a client living with an acquired brain injury (ABI) following a motor vehicle accident. The role involves comprehensive, 24-hour care including personal care, domestic duties, community access, and attendance at medical and personal appointments. Our client uses an electric wheelchair in the community and a forearm walker with a pelican belt at home. Verbal communication is limited due to speech challenges, so patience and the ability to engage through alternative communication methods are essential. A love for music is a huge plus—music and playing instruments are a major part of the client’s life.
