Lead the Team. Support with Purpose.
 
Rocky Bay is looking for a Lead Support Worker to join our Supported Accommodation team in Lockridge.
 
This is a hands-on leadership role supporting customers with high and complex care needs, while providing direction and support to the team. When the Team Leader isn't onsite, you'll be the senior point of support on shift — helping the team navigate challenges, maintain standards and deliver consistent, person-centred support.
 
 
What You'll Do
  • Lead the shift, providing direction and support to permanent, casual and agency staff.
  • Be a trusted point of guidance for the team and help maintain high standards of practice.
  • Lead by example in Active Support, customer care, documentation and professional conduct.
  • Provide constructive feedback, respectfully address concerns and speak up when practice isn't meeting expectations.
  • Use initiative and sound judgement to resolve issues and recognise when matters need to be escalated.
  • Provide clear handovers to the Team Leader regarding customer, incident or staff concerns requiring follow-up.
  • Support customers with high and complex care needs, including PEGs, catheters, medication and complex seizure management.
  • Confidently undertake manual handling, including hoists, wheelchairs, transfers and positioning.
  • Support customers with community access, activities and appointments.

 

About You
You're a confident leader who leads from the floor. You know how to support your team, make good decisions and maintain a calm, positive environment — even when things don't go to plan.
 
 
You'll bring:
  • Experience supporting people with complex physical disabilities and health care needs.
  • A commitment to delivering high-quality, person-centred services.
  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
  • A willingness to learn new skills and continually develop your knowledge and capability
  • Leadership potential and the confidence to support the team in a senior capacity when required.
  • Confidence with manual handling and hoist transfers.
  • A proactive and accountable approach — you see what needs to be done and take action.
  • A genuine commitment to Active Support, customer choice and independence.
 
Why Join Rocky Bay?
  • $40.00 - $41.66 per hour + salary packaging up to $18,550 tax-free
  • 17.5% leave loading
  • Career development and professional training opportunities
