What we offer
Why people stay with Tegrity
Here is what to expect when applying for casual support work with Tegrity.
Genuine team culture
You will know everyone, be known by everyone, and have direct access to the coordinator if something comes up.
Support when you need it
We do not leave workers to figure difficult situations out alone. Coordinators are available and responsive.
SCHADS Level 2.1
Level 2, Pay Point 1, with casual loading, applicable penalty rates and superannuation. We explain the hourly rates and terms during recruitment.
Meaningful work
The participants we support are real people with real goals. You will see the difference you make — not just be a number in a shift-matching algorithm.
The role
What the role involves
As a support worker at Tegrity, you will provide direct, person-centred support to adults with disability. Every participant has different goals, but most of our support work falls into three areas.
Community participation
Getting participants out into the community — markets, swimming, parks, social activities, the Wednesday rec group. Building confidence and connection through regular, consistent outings.
Daily living assistance
Helping participants with morning and evening routines, meal preparation, household tasks, and keeping on top of appointments. Done with, not for.
Social support and skill building
Spending time with participants, building relationship and trust, helping them develop independence in areas they want to grow.
Who you’ll support. We work with participants with a range of disability types, including psychosocial disability (mental health conditions), intellectual disability, autism, acquired brain injury, and physical disability. A background in or comfort with psychosocial support is particularly valued.
How shifts work. These are casual positions, mainly on weekdays with potential weekend work. Available shifts depend on participant needs and your availability; a particular number of hours is not guaranteed.
Your local role
Find the right fit across the Inner West
The Inner West covers a broad area. When applying, tell us where you live, which parts of the Inner West you can travel to and how travel would fit around your weekday availability. You do not need to be available across the whole region to apply.
Your preferred work area
Use the experience box below to name the parts of the Inner West you would prefer to work in. Please keep your home suburb in the suburb field so we can distinguish where you live from where you want to work.
Your weekday availability
Tick weekdays in the application and tell us your available days and times. If you could also work weekends, tick that option too. Weekend work is a possibility rather than a guaranteed part of the role.
Considering another area? We are also recruiting in Redfern and Waterloo. You only need to apply once: list all the areas you can work in.
Requirements
What we are looking for
Checks not in place yet? That is fine — tell us where you are in the process and we can guide you.
Essential qualifications and checks
- Certificate III in Individual Support (or Certificate IV, or equivalent qualification in disability, aged care, community services, or mental health)
- NDIS Worker Screening Clearance (or willingness to obtain one — we can guide you through the process)
- Working With Children Check (NSW)
- National Police Check (dated within 3 years)
- Current first aid certificate (HLTAID011 or equivalent)
- Valid driver’s licence and access to a reliable vehicle (preferred for most roles)
Qualities we value
- Reliability
- Participants plan their lives around your shift. Turning up on time, every time, is the foundation of good support work.
- Patience and flexibility
- Good days and harder days are both part of the role. The ability to follow a participant’s lead — and pace things accordingly — matters more than a rigid plan.
- Genuine interest in the people you support
- We notice quickly when a worker sees a shift as transactional. Our participants deserve better than that.
- Cultural awareness and sensitivity
- We support participants from diverse backgrounds, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Cultural humility and respect are non-negotiable.
NDIS experience is preferred, not essential. Everyone is welcome to apply, including people new to disability support work. Tell us about your relevant skills and experience. Required checks and role requirements must still be met before starting work.
Aboriginal-owned
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander workers
Tegrity is Aboriginal-owned and the Aboriginal community is central to who we are and what we do. We strongly encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to apply for support worker and coordination roles. Lived experience of community, culture, and Country is a genuine asset in this work — not something to be retrofitted by training.
We are committed to building a workforce that reflects the communities we serve, and to creating an environment where Aboriginal workers are supported, valued, and able to bring their whole selves to the role.
