Have you always wanted to work in the disability sector but don’t know how to get a foot in the door?

This program may be the entry point you are looking for.

This pre-traineeship program has been designed for those looking for entry level part-time traineeship employment with CA Care.

CA Care offer a range of NDIS services across the Central Coast Region. CA Care are focused on providing support to people with a disability in a holistic manner to recognise and promote their value as individuals. CA Care are looking to expand, and they have a number of opportunities for committed trainees to start their career in the disability sector.

ET Australia and CA Care have partnered to recruit, screen and refer suitable applicants to participate in this pre-traineeship program with a view to CA Care employing participants from the pre-traineeship program in part time traineeship positions.

The program enables students to:

• Familiarise themselves with work in the disability sector and the requirements of the employer
• Receive support and advice to see whether the type of traineeship (CHC33015 Certificate III in Individual Support (Disability)) is suitable prior to making a full commitment
• Transition into traineeship employment (ie for the students who are selected for traineeship employment on conclusion of the pre-traineeship program)
• Achieve 2 of the units during the pre-traineeship program that are core units from the CHC33015
  Certificate III in Individual Support (Disability) qualification

This training program is provided at no cost to eligible participants and is subsidised by the NSW Government under the Smart and Skilled initiative.

Included in the program is a student ‘voluntary’ police check which will be conducted during the program to ensure suitability for work in the industry.

In addition to the accredited training, students will learn about the role of a disability support care worker, they will be introduced to some of the workplace policies and procedures they will be required to follow if successful in gaining a traineeship position, and they will gain valuable employability skills that are required for any role.

Students are not paid to participate in the pre-traineeship program, but if a student displays the qualities and attributes that CA Care are looking for during the pre-traineeship program, then offers of traineeship employment will be made.

Students who successfully transition into traineeship employment will be paid to undertake training on the job in CHC33015 Certificate III in Individual Support (Disability).

All applicants must attend an information session and an interview for selection into the program.

Disability work can be emotionally and physically challenging and is very hands-on. Applicants must have the functional capacity and fitness to perform the tasks and duties necessary to work in the disability sector.

Applicants who, due to fitness or functional capacity, would place themselves or others at risk of harm or injury would be unsuitable for the program.

Applicants must;

• Be prepared to undergo a student / volunteer police check
• Be available for part time work and if successful with traineeship employment be prepared to work a rotating roster with varying hours (including weekend and overnight work)
• Hold a current NSW driver’s licence and have own reliable vehicle

This individual support training is subsidised by the NSW Government under the Smart and Skilled initiative (eligibility criteria applies).

The program has been designed to meet an industry need for entry-level workers in the aged care sector.

This accredited individual support qualification reflects the role of workers in the community and / or residential setting who follow an individualised plan to provide person-centred support to people who may require support due to ageing.

Students will learn how to meet the personal support needs of the older person, support their independence and well-being, use safe working practices for direct care work, and will learn how to work effectively in the aged care sector.

The combination of classroom-based learning with on the job training and work placement provides the foundations required to work with aged people.

During the program, students must complete a minimum of 120 hours of clinical placement providing direct care support in at least one aged care, home and community, or community services organisation. Students will practice their skills under supervision in an aged care facility.
