Ten reasons to work for Beyond Limits

More about...

Corey can have a good but dark sense of humour and likes to have a bit of banter with his team. He prefers his team to be laid back at times but still motivated to support him with his interests. Corey enjoys playing wheelchair rugby and attends the gym but also enjoys growing plants, listening to music, playing the guitar, cooking, and watching a variety of films and documentaries. Corey’s goals are to attend the local gym more regularly and to develop his skills on the guitar. Corey would also like to take part in more thrill-seeking activities, so great for those who have a head for heights. Corey requires the use of a wheelchair and may also need support with planning due to an acquired brain injury, but Corey is generally capable. He has a young daughter that he looks after often so you need to be willing to work with a young child and have a playful attitude without taking over. Corey has 4 hours of unsupported time each day which you will need to be flexible around. Shifts are from 0900 until 1030pm with a sleepover. Currently we only have a couple of shifts per month to cover, but there may be overtime as well as additional shifts in the future.

Ideally you will:
Have similar interests to Corey
Be self-motivated
Be outgoing
Have good communication skills
Have a good sense of humour, not easily offended
Have a positive attitude
Value the principles of inclusion
Be flexible with your shifts
