A unique opportunity for an experienced Accommodation Services Manager to join our team in Greensborough is now open!

Are you an experienced Team Leader – Disability Support Worker or Housing Supervisor looking for a leadership opportunity?

Would you like to be a part of an organisation shaping the healthcare space for self-funded families in the NDIS?

Welcome to JDC Support!

We’re a family-run business dedicated to helping our son, Jake to achieve a great life with purposeful and meaningful activities to learn and grow.

Since 2011, Team Jake has been a collaboration between paid and unpaid individuals from diverse backgrounds who share a vision for disability inclusion and human rights. There are many families and their loved ones that don’t fit the NDIS mould, making access to the vital services they need extremely hard, time-consuming and frustrating. And as such JDC Support was created. Taking back control, our mission is to create a framework for other families to do the same!

Introducing Jake

Jake is a 30-year-old with a lovely smile, great manners, and a wicked sense of humour. His love for animals and zest for life is contagious, and whilst he faces both physical and intellectual disabilities, that has not deterred him from being an integral part of our local community.
