Qualifications and experience
 
You don’t need to worry if you don’t have any formal qualifications or training in disability, as you’ll almost certainly have other skills, experience and capabilities that are extremely useful and that will help contribute to having a successful and enjoyable career in the disability sector.
 
Having the right attitude and a desire to make a difference are two other important qualities that you’ll need as an ESD 2. 
 
Employers will specify qualification or equivalent experience requirements for particular roles, but generally you’ll need to have a current driver’s licence and first aid certificate to be considered for an ESD 2 role.
 
ESD 2 roles are rewarding and challenging. Every day you get to make a positive difference to the lives of people with disability by supporting them find meaningful work.
