Person-centred Support Worker

We are a values-focused organisation, who put the people we support first. Established in 1982 by a group of local parents who wanted respite and accommodation for their now adult children, we have expanded exponentially because our participants love our services.

At Community Living Options we are dedicated to providing an inclusive environment where people are valued and supported. We welcome participants with lived experience, all abilities, cultural background, gender, sexuality, age and spirituality.

Join a passionate team where we empower individuals to live their best lives by supporting their dreams, choices and individuality. Out participants have diverse interest which include coffee catchups, family visits, gardening, and creative pursuits. We are here to help them thrive in the community, want to join the team?
