Community Living Project (CLP) is seeking a mature, enthusiastic, and flexible person to fill the lead worker role in a team that is facilitating a good life for a woman living in her own home in the eastern suburbs.

The focus is on enabling her to live a purposeful life in the community, maintaining a calm household, and building her competencies and valued roles. You will get to know and embrace the woman’s gifts, interests, and skills and through this, help to facilitate and enhance her relationships in the local community by providing administrative functions and oversight for her support team.

13.01.2022 Do you appreciate classic cars or have an interest in collecting things? Do you enjoy travel and other cultures? I am looking for the right person to assist me for approximately 15 hours per week to pursue my interests and be a role model for developing my social connections near my home at Old Reynella. Workday tasks will relate to facilitating my role as an Electronic Recycling Australia employee and supporting me in managing my home. My love of collecting things is importa...nt to me and I want to be supported in doing this in a safe and productive manner. I have a great sense of humour and am master of the one liner. I am inquisitive and have an interest in learning about different countries. I’d like to plan a holiday to New Zealand. I enjoy a wide range of music, YouTube videos (often about cars), and binging TV series. You will be patient, have strong social skills and an appreciation for the complexity of human behaviour, be organised, practical, reliable, motivating and enthusiastic. As a Key Worker you will work closely with my family to coach and mentor my support team in line with my vision for a good life.

11.01.2022 Next stop, Victor Harbor, 23 & 24 February! Please tell your friends in the Fleurieu to book now to learn more about Micro Enterprise and Circles of Support. https://communitylivingproject.org.au/victor-harbor-fleuri/

11.01.2022 12 days to go! Places are filling fast. Please don't hesitate to book in to learn about Circles of Support: a safeguard in the lives of vulnerable people. A Circle of Support is a group of people who are intentionally invited to come together in friendship and support of a person who has a disability, for the purposes of protecting the person's interests into the future. Circles of Support are underpinned by principles of inclusion.... The day is made up of two sessions - an introduction to Circles of Support, open to all, and a workshop for people with disability, their family members and allies to stay on and take a deeper dive to learn about whether a Circle of Support is for them and what that might look like

10.01.2022 Great work, Ben!

10.01.2022 One of the biggest barriers we find families face when planning for their future is having people in their life who can provide supports to their loved one when... they are gone. It might be needing someone to be a trustee of a Trust or an Executor of a Will or just having someone to pop over and have regular coffees with your family member or take them on an annual holiday. But of course, as lawyers we do not come up with the people, we just draft the documents! Community Living Project Inc. is a leading organisation in South Australia that provides assistance to families to develop those networks. The last coffee I (Nat) had pre-COVID, was with the Manager of their Circles of Support initiative and I noted to her these enormous barriers faced by families. But to what I thought was a really tough problem, she seamlessly presented a workable solution that has been available to families for ages! At EQL, we love to share resources that help our people work through the many different complexities that living with a disability can present. So if you have not heard of Circles of Support and want to know more - details are below!

Make sure you choose what suits you, based on your circumstances}. #EQL #disabilitycommunity #futureplanning #disabilityrights #estates

10.01.2022 Are you an active person with a positive approach to life, have experience with tutoring or encouraging others who are exploring new creative skills? Do you have the flexibility to fit in a couple of hours each week on an ongoing basis so that we can set goals and work towards them? Ideally I would like three different people to walk alongside me to achieve my aspirations. You might be a young adult like me who is doing related studies or exploring similar passions. The three areas I am searching mentoring for include: guidance with exploring exercise activities in my local area, brainstorming and editing with university assignments in Community Services and building my motor skills when engaging with art mediums. If you think you could be a good fit for these roles, please get in touch and tell us more about yourself.

08.01.2022 Personal Assistant (PA) required on a part-time basis to help me set up, maintain, and expand my small home-based Odd Jobs Micro-Enterprise based in Klemzig. The PA role will initially be 10 hours a week split over two days (to be determined) with the possibility of expanding to additional hours in the future. Some experience in odd jobs work, basic business administration and marketing skills would be advantage.... So, if you are fit, easy going with a good sense of humour, and have the willingness to gently coach and encourage me in learning new skills I am eager to hear from you. Applicants must have a current driver’s license and vehicle suitable for carrying light maintenance equipment to use for work purposes. https://communitylivingproject.org.au/personal-assistant-od

06.01.2022 Are you a mature, enthusiastic support worker with knowledge/experience in using PODD or augmentative communication? Are you passionate about nature, animals and embracing someone’s gifts and talents to enrich a good life? Are you a positive person who will do what it takes to get to know and appreciate the person you are working with? I am a woman in my 30s and live with my parents in Underdale. After moving from rural Victoria I am ready to explore my new surroundings with... someone who matches my interests, and would embrace my life vision. My parents are by my side to establish roles and guide, train and direct my support team. I use PODD to communicate and it is important to have people around me who can recognise and enhance the things that are important to me. This role requires flexibility and availability to work over a 24 hour, 7 day schedule. It is a casual position with the opportunity of 25-30 hours a week once we have established trust and a rhythm of working together. My day to day tasks are guided by my vision, goals and dreams for my life. If you think you could be a good fit for this role, please get in touch and tell us more about yourself.
