Do work that matters
DCR employs people across residential care, disability support, child protection and the teams that support this work across the organisation.
Working at DCR means contributing to the care and support people with complex needs receive each day. The work can be demanding, personal and highly skilled, calling for people who communicate clearly, take responsibility and understand the importance of doing their role well.
DCR provides training, practical guidance and ongoing support to help employees build their skills and be good at what they do.
Great care depends on great people
People across DCR contribute to the care and support provided each day.
Support Workers build relationships, understand routines and provide direct support in people’s homes and communities.
Managers are responsible for care planning and practice, guide teams, coordinate with health professionals, review changing needs and help make sure care plans are understood and followed. Clinical, operational and office-based employees provide the systems, communication and practical support that keep the organisation running.
Responsibilities differ, but DCR values people who are reliable, thoughtful in their decisions, respectful of professional boundaries, and committed to doing their work well.
Each vacancy explains the role’s responsibilities, qualifications and requirements.
Support from day one
Different roles require different training and support. Across DCR, employees receive guidance from experienced leaders and opportunities to build the knowledge needed for their work.
For new Support Workers, that begins with a paid induction and training program, including lunches during induction, followed by buddy shifts alongside experienced team members. This gives new starters time to become familiar with DCR’s expectations, the support environment and the people they will be working with before taking on the role independently.
Ongoing development includes supervision, team meetings and role-specific training. Employees involved in care planning and practice may also contribute to case reviews and planning discussions, while eligible employees can access heavily subsidised Certificate IV training through DCR’s training partners.
