OUR PHILOSOPHY

Real Living Options is a community-based service which works towards assisting people with a disability to have a home of their own within the community with a lifestyle of their choice which reflects the conditions of everyday life valued by the community.

We are always on the lookout for youthful and enthusiastic casual Lifestyle Assistants to support people with a disability aged 18 to 65 in general community access and home assistance. Real Living Options is growing and the need for reliable and support staff is ongoing.

We seek confident people who have initiative, common sense and the ability to encourage and be supportive in varying circumstances. Experience in Mental Health will be highly regarded.

The minimum requirements to work for Real Living Options as a Lifestyle assistant are:
