The role
Disability Support Worker, Brisbane.
A casual role supporting NDIS participants across Brisbane, shaped around real people and real routines. The pay reflects the work, with higher penalty rates on weekends and public holidays and superannuation paid correctly.

- Casual: shifts that suit your life
What the work looks like
Real support, in the real world.
Community access & social support
Getting out and about: appointments, activities, outings, sport and hobbies, and being good company along the way.
Building skills & confidence
Helping people build the skills, confidence and independence to do more on their own over time. This is the part that makes the job matter.
A steady, friendly presence
Turning up when you say you will, week in and week out. Being dependable is half the job, and it is the half people remember.
What we are looking for
We hire for heart, and train the rest.
You do not need a care background to be brilliant at this. Some of our best support workers came from hospitality, retail, fitness, teaching, defence and emergency services, or simply parenting. If you are reliable, warm and genuinely care, we can teach the rest.

Why work with Horizons?
A job worth turning up for.
Real 1:1 work, not a conveyor belt
Meaningful, person-centred support at a human pace. This is not nursing-home work; it is one person, one relationship, real impact.
A team that backs you
A supportive, people-first team with proper supervision behind you. You are never left to figure it out on your own.
Flexibility that fits your life
Real flexibility and shifts that suit you. Great for students, parents and career-changers who need work that works around them.
Community-based, room to grow
Out in the community, not stuck inside an institution, with genuine room to develop and grow as the team grows.
All our support workers hold NDIS Worker Screening clearances and current First Aid, and complete the NDIS Worker Orientation Module.

“Ten years in kitchens taught me to stay calm when everything is happening at once, and that's exactly what this job needs. Every shift is different because every person is different, so you learn to actually listen instead of following a script. It's hard work some days, but it's the first job where I finish a shift and know it actually mattered.”
