Careers

We understand everyone’s situation is unique. We do our best to accommodate each person’s specific needs and provide a flexible work environment. We have many family friendly roles in most areas around Melbourne and casual employment gives you the ultimate flexibility in the hours you work. 

We will support you with advancing your career. We provide ongoing support, professional development, best practice advice, refresher courses, client specific and accredited training to ensure you will continue to excel in your role. 

We check in with our staff on a regular basis in different ways: Keep you updated on important stuff, ask you for your feedback through surveys and research, encourage all of our staff to have input in how we can do things better, and we always recognise our people through our staff reward and recognition program. 

All support worker applicants will go through the following steps.  Depending on the services you will provide and your location, there are minor differences in the specific checks, qualifications, or training options you have.  Here’s what you should expect. 

 

1. APPLICATION

Once your application has been submitted you will receive a confirmation email acknowledging receipt. 

 

2. APPLICATION REVIEW

Your application will be assessed by one of our Recruitment Consultants against our capability requirements and key selection criteria and you will be invited to a telephone interview. 

 

3. TELEPHONE INTERVIEW

You will be asked questions to find out a little bit more about yourself, your work history and hands-on support and your motivation for applying. 

 

4. ONLINE GROUP INTERVIEW

You will be asked to share your knowledge and industry experience through a series of behavioural based questions in front of a small group. An understanding of your role at Crest Support and the next stage of our recruitment process will also be shared. 

 

5. REFERENCE AND SCREENING CHECKS

When prompted, you will need to have the contact details (professional email address and mobile number) of two referees that supervised you. We will also compile your current relevant checks, copies of relevant qualifications and recommend any training opportunities that may be relevant. 

 

• In Victoria, all support workers must supply NDIS Disability Worker Check. For Child, Youth and Family workers you must agree to the Carers Register check and complete an annual National Police Check.
  
• We will ask for copies of your qualifications and key training including Medication, First Aid, CPR and Manual Handling. Evidence of both COVID vaccines and Booster will also be requested. 

Congratulations, you have successfully completed the Crest Support recruitment process. We hope that you enjoy being part of Crest Support and remind you to update your availability regularly.
