If you’re like me, you’ve probably wondered how to combine passion with purpose. At PRS Support, we’re making that possible every day.
The disability sector is booming, offering numerous specialised roles including Occupational Therapists, Psychologists, Physiotherapists, Behavioural Support Therapists, and Speech Pathologists and other equally life changing professional therapy roles. What makes it exciting is not just the job but the positive impact you make on people’s lives and the professional relationships you form.
In a world where people are increasingly seeking meaning, purpose, and personal satisfaction in their careers, the specialised NDIS Disability Support sector stands out. This field offers the unique opportunity to work in a well-paid, respected profession while doing what you love and helping those truly in need. It’s a rare combination that brings financial stability, professional respect, and the immense reward of making a real difference in the lives of people who truly need it.
However, it’s important to approach this career with your eyes open too. Some participants have severe disabilities and may never be able to lead completely healthy lives. The reality is that in some cases, the best we can do is to mitigate their suffering and improve their quality of life as much as possible. You really have to have a desire to help people. This requires a certain type of person who is resilient, compassionate, hard-working and capable of handling tough situations.
While there are many moments filled with smiles and progress, there are also times when simply reducing someone’s suffering from a 9 to a 7 is a significant achievement and often a team effort. Each improvement, no matter how small, is a testament to the profound impact you can have in this field.
