Love helping and supporting people? So do we, including helping and supporting our staff. As well as providing quality care and assistance, we offer a fun, supportive and flexible work culture. Our staff are treated well, listened to and know they can come to us with any issue.
If you’re just after a paycheck, HEDSS isn’t for you – though we do pay our employees above the grade. We want people who are passionate and enthusiastic when they’re around participants and are committed to helping them be independent. Does that sound like you?
“Amie and Gavin are highly-educated, qualified and experienced in the field. This is reflected in their personable approach, which ensures each client receives nothing but quality care and is best supported to achieve their individual goals. They also build strong rapport with each client and have fun and enjoy themselves along the way.”
Tom | Day Program Coordinator
In our industry, sound and ongoing training are important. All new HEDSS staff are given a full induction, including:
We also provide client-specific training, such as Mealtime Management Plans, Medication Protocol and Behaviour Support.
Please note that you’re required to have completed broader training, such as NDIS worker orientation and first aid before starting with us – this is not something we provide.
Formal training for Certificates 3 and 4 is available at various times.
Hunter Ethical Disability Support Services, or HEDSS for short, is a team of committed disability support professionals. We have over 150 years of experience between us and value our clients and staff.
