What will you do?

As a Community Facilitator (support worker), you will be busy supporting people who have a broad range of goals – from helping with household chores, meal planning, and building social networks; to supporting people through major life changes like attending university or moving out.

Though Community Facilitating involves working 1:1 with clients, it also means that you’re working as a part of a larger team who work specific rosters, with each Facilitator contributing uniquely to the client’s support.
