Careers & Opportunities at Life is for Living Mentoring

You have something rare — a real heart for people, a unique skill set, and high personal standards. You’re looking for work that means something. A team that values you. A place where what you bring genuinely matters.

We’ve built that place.

Life is for Living Mentoring is a family-owned, heart-centred mentoring service based in the Adelaide Hills. We support NDIS participants, homeschooling families, and community clients across the Hills, Murray Bridge, Hindmarsh Island, and the southern suburbs — all the way down to Marion and Camden Park.

We are known across the industry for the calibre of our mentors and the quality of the relationships we build. If that’s the kind of work you’re looking for, we’d love to meet you.

Who We Are

Life is for Living Mentoring is a small, family-owned business built on strong values, genuine connection, and a deep commitment to improving quality of life — for our clients, our staff, and our community.

We are family-owned and family-run. The values we bring to work are the values we live by at home.

Everything we do is guided by:
Inclusion and acceptance
Respect for individuality and lived experience
High ethics, integrity, and strong moral values
Heart-centred, person-led support
Quality, consistency, and genuine care

Identify the need. Meet the need.

We meet every person as a whole human being — capable, sovereign, and worthy of a life they actively choose. We listen, we notice, and we shape support around the individual. That same respect runs through how we treat our team.

Why Work With Us

Heart-centred work doesn’t mean undervalued work. We back our mentors practically, professionally, and personally.
Above-award pay rates
We value the work you do and back it with pay rates above the industry award.
In-house training and ongoing development
Real skill-building, not box-ticking. Grow the specialist work you want to grow.
Commission opportunities
Commissions are available to staff who are interested. We’ll talk you through the details when we meet.
24/7 access to an independent counsellor
We contract an independent counselling service so every team member has confidential, round-the-clock access to a qualified counsellor — entirely outside of the business.
A supportive, family-style team
Small enough to know each other. Strong enough to back each other.
Meaningful, varied work
From farm days at Macclesfield to community adventures across the Hills — no two days look the same.
A platform for your unique skill set
Our specialist mentor pages let you bring your specific gifts forward and be hired for them.

The Work Itself

Mentoring at Life is for Living is real, varied, and deeply human. No two days look the same, and no two clients need the same things.

Some days you’ll be out in the community — supporting a client through a social outing, an appointment, a holiday program day. Other days the work is quieter and closer to home: helping someone shower with dignity, supporting personal care, cleaning a bathroom, preparing a meal, or simply sitting with someone through a hard hour.

All of it matters. All of it is mentoring.

We’re looking for people who understand that genuine support means meeting a client wherever they are — with whatever they need — and bringing the same warmth, respect, and professionalism to every part of it.

Who we’re looking for

Qualified support workers, mentors, allied health professionals, and people with unique skill sets. Whether your gift is music, animals, the outdoors, art, neurodivergent advocacy, trades, fitness, gardening, or simply being a steady, kind presence — we want to hear from you.
If you have lived experience — please don’t be afraid to apply. Your story and your insight are part of what makes great support workers great.

You’ll thrive here if you are:

  • Genuinely warm, with strong personal standards and integrity
  • A natural at meeting people where they are, without judgement
  • Excited by 1:1 work and small-group community connection
  • Reliable, consistent, and respectful of every person you support
  • Open to learning, feedback, and bringing your whole self to the work

What you’ll need before you start:

To work with us, all applicants must hold (or be willing to obtain before commencement):

  • NDIS Worker Module (completed)

  • Working with Children Clearance
  • Working with Vulnerable People Clearance
  • National Police Clearance
  • Current First Aid Certificate (including CPR)
  • Valid Australian driver’s licence
  • A reliable, roadworthy vehicle with comprehensive car insurance

These are non-negotiable. Please confirm in your application that you hold each of these clearances, or are actively in the process of obtaining them.
Bring your unique gifts. We’ll build the role around them.

Tell Us Your Story

If you have something meaningful to offer, we would genuinely love to hear from you.

  • Your current resume
  • Two professional references
  • A short cover letter introducing yourself — who you are, what you bring, and why this
    work calls to you
  • Confirmation that you hold (or are obtaining) all the clearances listed above

Please apply by email only. We review every application personally and will be in touch if we’d like to take the conversation further.
“The values we bring to work are the values we live by at home.”
