🏡 Southern Adelaide- A beautiful Supported Independent Living home with two lovely housemates and two very friendly cats—who already think they own the place! 🐾

The master bedroom at Mercedes House in Hackham is available and would suit either a male or female housemate.

With your own ensuite and walk-in robe, two living areas and a lovely covered outdoor space, there’s room for a chat, a shared meal or some well-earned quiet time.

Two ladies currently call Mercedes home, and both work part-time at Bedford. One enjoys her own space, while the other loves company and a good conversation. There are no behaviours of concern (BOC).

The two resident cats bring plenty of personality and will no doubt supervise the moving-in process. 💚

The vacancy follows a reduction in a participant’s funding.

Come and have a look, meet the housemates—and the cats—and see whether it’s the right fit for you and the current housemates.

Contact James Sheppard, Relationship Manager, or Regan Davey, Senior SIL Coordinator, to find out more, arrange a visit or find out about other SIL vacancies.

We're so proud to support Pearsons Farm & Animal Rescue, and this week we were delighted to lend some of our team to help out at DAL Expo over two busy days! 🐐🐑

It was wonderful to see the farm and its animal squad bring so many smiles to visitors. Our staff had a fantastic time chatting with people, meeting new and familiar faces, and connecting with other providers across the community.

A big thank you to our brilliant team members who gave up their time and threw themselves into it with so much energy. You did us proud! 💚

And thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello. Events like DAL Expo are exactly why we love being part of Pearsons Farm's journey.

Here till next year, DAL! 🐰

Our animal enclosure is back at the DAL Expo Adelaide this week! 🎉

Each year the Pearsons team sets up an animal enclosure at the Disability, Ageing and Lifestyle Expo, and this year there’s a special guest. Princess Fiona, the baby donkey from Pearsons Farm & Animal Rescue, has been getting float-ready with her mum so she can make the trip.

The enclosure is a true team effort. Pearsons Services and Pearsons Farm & Animal Rescue come together every year to plan it, build it and add all the little touches that make it special. Our goal is a welcoming, accessible space where everyone can relax, connect and enjoy some time with the animals. We’re proud of what we create together and can’t wait to share it with you. 🤝

While you’re visiting, have a chat with our friendly team about our wonderful new Supported Independent Living (SIL) homes. We’re very proud of our SIL service and the homes we’ve created. Each one is well presented and comfortable, designed to feel like home, and backed by a caring, dedicated support team. Our team is happy to talk you through our SIL vacancies and the support we offer, and to answer any questions about how we can help you or your loved one live well. 🏡

Come past our enclosure to meet the animals, see what Pearsons is all about and say hello. We’d love to see you there!

🐮 Animal Social Time—make friends with two legs AND four!

Join us at Pearson’s Farm & Animal Rescue in Clarendon for eight weeks of animals, friendships and farm adventures! 💚
Our farm is also an animal rescue and registered charity, providing a safe, loving home for animals in need. Children get to know our rescued residents and learn about kindness, respect and caring for animals.
Each week features a different animal theme, and we encourage children to choose activities together, share ideas and help shape their afternoon.
Activities include:
🌿 Meet the Farm: Explore the farm, feed our animal friends and make dough animals.
🐔 Chickens & Eggs: Collect eggs, decorate an egg and learn about the incubator.
🫏 Princess Fiona: Brush our donkey and search the hay for a mysterious “donkey egg”!
🐑 Sheep & Lambs: Feed the sheep, help bottle-feed lambs and create wool crafts.
🐣 Hello, Chicks! Meet the chicks, pick greens for the chickens and paint a sunflower pot.
🦘 Kangaroo Time: Meet our kangaroos, watch a joey have its bottle and plant sunflower seeds.
🐮 Highland Calves: Meet, feed and brush our fluffy calves, then visit the big cows.
🐴 Horses & Ponies: Meet our horses and ponies and make animal treats.
Through shared activities, children can build confidence, practise communication, take turns, work together and develop friendships, supporting their social goals in a relaxed farm setting.
There’s always someone pleased to see you—especially if you’re carrying a feed bucket! 😂
📅 Mondays, 19 October–7 December 2026
🕓 4:00pm–6:00pm
🌿 Eight-week program
📍 Pearson’s Farm & Animal Rescue, Clarendon
💚 Can be fully funded through an eligible NDIS plan, with suitable funding available.

🐴 Still searching for the right person to join our farm team in Clarendon! 🌿

Confident with horses and experienced in disability support? We’d love to hear from you.

We’re looking for someone to work alongside our senior staff member to help run our horse groups, supporting participants to learn, connect and enjoy time with our horses safely.

Ideally, you’ll be available:
🐴 After school, 4:00–6:00 pm, to help with horse groups.
🎉 Some Saturdays, to assist with groups and children’s parties.

You’ll help participants practise skills such as listening, following instructions, working with a peer and taking turns—with our horses providing plenty of motivation!

We’re looking for someone who is:

Experienced and confident handling horses.

Experienced in supporting people with disability.

Comfortable around other farm animals.

Calm, reliable, practical and safety-focused.

Able to adapt support to each participant.

Happy to get their hands—and occasionally their boots—dirty!

Our Clarendon farm is home to horses, donkeys, goats, sheep, chickens, Highland cows, kangaroos and plenty of other personalities. Some are more helpful than others when it comes to getting the jobs done! 😄

Horse experience is essential for this role. Ideally, you’re an experienced Disability Support Worker who feels equally comfortable supporting a participant and handling a horse.

And, as an added workplace bonus, you’ll meet our very strong contender for the world’s cutest baby donkey: Princess Fiona Alice Pearson! 😍🫏

📧 Send your résumé and a little about your horse and disability support experience to [email protected]. Please include your availability.

Come and join the Pearsons Farm team.
💚 Where every little life matters.

🌿 Pearson Services is growing... and we have some exciting people leading the way!

Over the past couple of months, we've welcomed two experienced leaders to the Pearson Services family.

🌿 Damian Glancy joined us seven weeks ago as our General Manager.
🌿 Paul Marshall joined us two weeks ago as our Operations Manager.

Together, they bring a wealth of leadership experience, fresh ideas and a genuine passion for supporting our participants, families and team.

To say I'm excited is an understatement!
As the Founder and Managing Director of Pearson Services, I am already noticing the difference Damian and Paul are making.

Their experience and leadership are helping our organisation continue to grow while staying true to what has always mattered most—providing personalised, high-quality supports for the people we work alongside every day.

Having Damian and Paul on board is also giving me the opportunity to spend more time focusing on the bigger picture, developing new ideas, supporting our participants and, of course, spending a little more time at Pearson's Farm & Animal Rescue.
The farm has always been my happy place, and with Damian and Paul helping steer the ship, I might finally get to enjoy it a little more... which is perfect timing because we have another five orphaned joeys arriving soon! 🦘💚

(If you know me well, you'll know I don't need much of an excuse to disappear and cuddle baby animals! 🐴🐐🦘)

Pearson Services has come a long way since we first opened our doors, and it's exciting to have such experienced leaders helping us continue to grow while keeping the same family values that have always been at the heart of everything we do.

Please join me in giving Damian and Paul a very warm Pearson Services welcome. We can't wait to show you what the next chapter has in store!
💚 Karen Pearson
Founder & Managing Director
