Become a Declutter and Hoarding Support Worker
Help people take back their homes, one decision at a time. Online sessions Australia-wide, and in-person support in selected areas. Flexible hours, full training.
The work
This isn’t styling. It’s support.
Our clients live with heavy clutter through to severe hoarding, Levels I to V. Many feel ashamed or overwhelmed, and some have been let down before. Your job is to help them make decisions and keep going, not to make the decisions for them. Progress is often slow, and it matters a great deal.
Online sessions
Australia-wide, from home
- Coach clients by video through one zone at a time
- Help them make decisions, keep momentum and plan the next step
- You need a quiet private space, a laptop and reliable internet
In-person support
In selected areas
- Work hands-on alongside clients in their home
- Sorting, carrying, bagging and arranging removal
- Physical work. Dust, odours and sometimes pests. Protective gear provided
Studying?
A strong fit for related courses
If you’re studying psychology, social work, occupational therapy, counselling, nursing, mental health or community services, this work builds real-world experience with people facing complex challenges at home. The hours can fit around your timetable. Anyone is welcome to apply, whether you’re studying or not.
