About Key Assets
Our purpose is to achieve positive and lasting outcomes for children, families, and communities.
Key Assets was founded in Australia in 2007 and has grown to one of Australia’s leading non-government children and family services providers. We provide foster carer, family services, and disability services. Operating across all states and Norfolk Island, our purpose is to achieve positive and lasting outcomes for children, families, and communities.
We strive to continue our work in developing an innovative range of services for children and young people while partnering with statutory bodies to understand and meet their unique needs, helping them to succeed.
To achieve that, we need people like you.
Working with Key Assets is about more than just a job. Our people do so much to put children first, so we do all we can to support them. We value you as a whole person, not just ‘a worker’, and we truly care about your wellbeing and your career. Because without you, we simply can’t do what we do. And without us, the people we support won’t get the care they need.
Applications are welcomed for appropriately qualified and experienced people to carry out Casual Support Worker/Disability Support Worker for Western Australia regions.
Support Workers are responsible for supporting foster carers and the young people placed with them through the provision of direct work and support with children and young people, as and when required.
We look for the following attributes:
* Available to work overnight support
* An understanding of trauma-informed therapeutic care to assist in deescalating and responding to critical incidents with the young person.
* Experience in dealing with children and young people with 'complex needs and behaviours' and the ability to therapeutically manage these behaviours.
* Full, clean open Australian driver’s license (specific to the state) and access to a fully insured car is also an essential requirement.
* Must have a current ‘paid employment’ Working With Children card for WA.
* Also have a current 'First Aid' certificate.
* Statutory Checks will be completed on all new staff as part of our recruitment process.
