Support Worker – Supported Employment

We offer casual, part-time and full-time opportunities with regular, structured hours.

Goodwill Engineering supports people with disability to build skills, confidence and independence through meaningful, paid employment. As a Support Worker, you’ll work alongside employees with disability, providing hands-on guidance and encouragement so they can succeed in their roles.

This is a workplace-based support role, focused on coaching and enabling people at work — not residential or clinical care.


The Role

You'll work alongside employees with disability on the factory floor, providing day-to-day support, encouragement, and guidance so they can safely work tasks and develop skills.

This role is ideal for support workers who enjoy:

  • Structured, active workdays
  • Building strong relationships
  • Seeing the direct impact of their support in real time


Key Duties

  • Support employees with disability to complete factory and production tasks
  • Provide on-the-job coaching, guidance, and encouragement
  • Assist with task setup, routines, and safe work practices
  • Support skill development and independence at work
  • Maintain a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment

Some personal or behavioural support may be required depending on individual needs; however this role is not focused on medical or intensive personal care.


What We're Looking For

  • Certificate III in Disability, Community Services, or relevant experience
  • Experience in supporting people with disability (workplace support desirable)
  • Strong communication skills and a calm, patient approach
  • Understanding of (or willingness to learn) NDIS principles
  • NDIS Worker Screening Check, WWCC & National Police Clearance
  • Alignment with Ability WA's values.

If you don't meet every requirement but feel this role suits you, we encourage you to apply.


Why Join Us?

  • Casual, part-time or full-time opportunities available
  • Weekday, structured work environment
  • Salary packaging up to $18,550
  • Supportive, values-driven team
  • Meaningful work supporting real jobs for people with disability.
