Do you live in or near Melbourne’s Eastern region? Do you enjoy spending time with kids? Do you have one weekend a month to spare for a family in need of some support? Read on!

Jason is a 10 year old boy with high functioning autism who loves DVD’s, computers and playing with Lego. Jason would really benefit from some one-to-one time as part of a regular respite arrangement, which would also give his mother a well earned break.

As a respite carer you would work closely with Jason’s mum would be able to offer support and all of the necessary information needed to be able to care for Jason appropriately. You would also be supported by the Disability Program.

If you think you could spare one weekend a month to support Jason and his family please call 1300 889 335 to find out how to get started.

If you live in other parts of Victoria but feel interested in similar roles in your local area simply call 1800 013 088 to find out more.
