SIL Ningi
Female aged 30-65 to join Rosie and Whitney!
1:3 SIL
The home is located in Ningi.
A hop, skip and a jump to the beautiful Bribie Island!
We are looking for a female co-tenant for Rosie and Whitney, and of course Jessie! (Whitney’s cat 😊)
Both ladies have their own challenges in life (as we all do!!) and would love to find a cotenant to suit their lifestyle and needs. Both ladies require additional support each day to be as independent as possible. Whitney and Rosie are looking for a person who would be of a similar needs, the staff within home are exceptional and have experience in a range of needs – High intensity to low. We are looking for someone who is slower paced. Somone who maybe goes out during the day and some who enjoys the interaction with a home setting.
The ladies are looking for someone in the age range of 30-65 who share the same interests as them which are: animals, craft, movies and gardening. Both ladies have community access in place and attend a day service a few days per week. Both ladies are mobile and verbal. We are hoping to find someone who is a good fit.
The support in the home is based 1:3. We currently have extra supports in place in the afternoons to support the routine of the ladies each day and for them to have the time and support to be as independent as possible. The overnights are inactive, but of course staff are always available if needed.
The home is managed by the department of housing. They will liaise with you in regards to rent and what is required as this is carried out directly with them, we can support you in the process if successful in your application for the home.
Ignite has in place a contributions agreement between the tenants. This is a small amount paid each week into a house account that covers Netflix, phone and internet, lawn mowing, cleaning products, communal items (glad wrap etc) window cleaning each year and one spring clean as well as contents insurance. Within this Ignite also supplies all the communal furniture, white goods with repairs and replacements included where necessary. The rental amount is reassessed each November and is based on changes to the actual rental amount by the landlord. Any increases will always be advised to you as early as possible. Some items within the home are communally used but owned by one of the tenants.
There aren’t any. You pay your rent. You pay your share of the utilities and contributions and that’s it. We don’t want your pension, not even a teeny bit of it. Your money after these bills is yours not ours! We can help you put together a grocery plan and budget, as well as a spending and saving budget too! This is what supported independent living is all about, learning all you can, to become as independent as possible!
We know from experience the way we run our SIL homes works well. It allows people to have everything anyone else would at home and is very transparent.
In addition to that, each home has it’s very own team leader, that is only allocated to THAT HOME. This team leader is reportable to the Program Manager who works closely with each team leader to ensure that we have cohesive teams who are feeling positive and empowered to make a difference in the life of your loved one. How we see it? If you don’t have a positive team supporting people, people do not make progress and where people do not make progress people are not moving forward in their lives to do and be the best they can. Life is about moving forward, learning, growing and every changing. This is the same for ALL people, no matter their ability.
That’s enough telling you how good we are…. Just make a call, have a chat and you will see for yourself! An A+ NDIS audit with no issues or recommendations to do anything better AND a 9/10 rating by our staff and participants tell me that we might just know what we are doing here and that we are worlds apart from the rest. All you have to do is give me a call to find out.
I am happy for you to call Andrea on 0457 454 107 or email [email protected] If any of our SIL vacancies interest you, or you would like to discuss moving your supports to us, we would love to hear about how we can change yours, or your loved ones world for the better. It’s a decision that you won’t regret.
