Support worker jobs in Sydney
Make a real difference.
As a Field Day support worker, you may help a child or teenager get out into the community, build confidence, practise routines, try new activities, or simply spend time with someone who feels safe and easy to be around.
The work is practical, human and relationship-based. Some shifts are active. Some are quiet. Some are about confidence. Some are about routines. The goal is always to help the young person feel more comfortable, capable and understood.
We are looking for people who are calm, kind and reliable.
You need to care, communicate clearly, bring energy and fun, show empathy, respect boundaries, and genuinely enjoy supporting young people.
