Roles we commonly hire
Trailblazer Community Care hires disability support workers and nurses to work with NDIS participants and veterans across Logan, Ipswich, Brisbane and Redland Bay. We're led by a Registered Nurse, which means you get clinical backup when you need it and training before you're asked to do a clinical task. Send us your details using the form at the top of this page, even if no role is advertised.
These are examples of the roles we hire for. They are not a list of current openings.
- Disability support workers for our supported homes in Waterford West and for in-home and community support. Work includes personal care and household tasks, as well as getting out into the community with people.
- Support workers with high intensity experience, or who want to build it. This includes supports like PEG feeding, catheter and stoma care, under clinical oversight.
- Registered Nurses for NDIS and DVA community nursing, such as wound care, continence, diabetes management and injections.
- Enrolled Nurses working within their scope and under RN supervision.
Shift patterns depend on the role and the people you support.
Most shifts run 6am to 2pm, 2pm to 10pm or 10pm to 6am. Overnight shifts in our homes can be active or sleepover, depending on the people you support.
Why work with us
A nurse is in charge of the clinical side
Our founder, Exavier Rikonda, is a Registered Nurse with 14 years of nursing behind him. He leads our clinical governance. If you're a support worker and something about a person's health worries you, there's a nurse to call. You're not left guessing.
You're trained before you're asked
We run internal professional development for our staff. If a role involves a clinical task like PEG feeding or catheter care, you'll be trained for that task and assessed as competent before you do it on your own. Training continues as people's needs change, not just at induction.
Your concerns are taken seriously
If you raise an incident or a worry, it gets acted on. That's part of how we meet the NDIS Code of Conduct, and it's how we expect our managers to work. More on this is on our quality and safeguarding page.
What you'll need
Every role that involves working with NDIS participants requires a current NDIS Worker Screening Check. In Queensland these are issued by the Queensland Government. If you don't have one yet, you can still apply and we'll explain the process.
Depending on the role, we'll also ask for:
- proof of identity and your right to work in Australia
- relevant qualifications, such as a Certificate III or IV in Individual Support or Disability, or equivalent experience
- current AHPRA registration for Registered and Enrolled Nurses
- references from recent employers
You'll also need a national police check, a current first aid and CPR certificate, a driver licence, car insurance and up-to-date vaccinations.
What we look for
Qualifications get you in the door. What makes someone good at this work is harder to put on a resume. We look for people who:
- respect that the person they support makes the decisions
- notice small changes and speak up about them
- turn up when they say they will
- are honest when they make a mistake
If that sounds like you, we'd like to hear from you, whatever your level of experience.

Questions about working at Trailblazer
Do I need an NDIS Worker Screening Check to apply?
You can apply without one, but you'll need a current NDIS Worker Screening Check before you start in a role that involves working with NDIS participants. In Queensland these are issued by the Queensland Government. We'll explain what's required if you're offered a role.
Do you hire support workers without experience?
We consider applicants with different levels of experience. What matters most is that you're reliable, respectful and willing to learn. Relevant qualifications help, and some roles, particularly in high intensity support, need specific training, which we provide.
Where would I be working?
Our work is across Logan, Ipswich, Brisbane and Redland Bay. That includes our two supported homes in Waterford West, in-home support, community access and community nursing visits. Tell us in your application which areas you can travel to.
Do you train staff in high intensity supports?
Yes. We run internal training, overseen by our clinical lead, who is a Registered Nurse. Workers who provide supports like PEG feeding or catheter care are trained and assessed as competent for that task before they do it.
Are you hiring nurses?
We hire Registered Nurses and Enrolled Nurses for NDIS and DVA community nursing. Nurses must hold current AHPRA registration. Send us your details through the form on this page, even if no nursing role is advertised.
