Behaviour Support Practitioner (Proficient / Core)
Are you passionate about making a meaningful, lasting difference in the lives of children, young adults, adults, and their families? Do you thrive in a collaborative, creative, and truly person-centered environment?
At Assist Disability, we do things a little differently. We believe that the best outcomes happen when professionals collaborate, innovate, and support one another. We are seeking a dedicated Behaviour Support (BSP) Practitioner with at least 12 months of experience to join our growing multidisciplinary team in Western Sydney.
-
Location: Flexibility with a mix of Community based work, Penrith/ Blacktown clinics and WFH
-
Work Type: Part-Time
-
Sector: Disability Support / Allied Health (NDIS)
What’s on Offer
-
True Flexibility & Hybrid Work. Work from home for report writing and administrative tasks while utilising our Western Sydney clinical hubs for participant sessions. We focus on quality outcomes and sustainable workloads.
-
Clinical Supervision & Professional Development. Access ongoing clinical supervision, mentoring, and professional development opportunities to support your continued growth and progression within the NDIS Behaviour Support Practitioner Capability Framework.

-
Modern Clinical Spaces. Access welcoming clinic spaces in Penrith and Blacktown, with free onsite parking and facilities designed to support participant engagement.
-
Sustainable Workloads. Our KPI expectations are designed to support high-quality clinical practice rather than volume-based service delivery. We recognise that effective Behaviour Support requires time for assessment, consultation, documentation, plan development, training, and review, and we structure workloads accordingly.
About the Role
As a Positive Behaviour Support Practitioner, you will work collaboratively with participants and their support networks to improve quality of life, reduce behaviours of concern, and support the reduction and, where possible, elimination of restrictive practices.

Key Responsibilities

- Provide behaviour support implementation training, coaching, and capacity-building to families, support workers, carers, and other stakeholders.
- Prepare high-quality clinical documentation, including behaviour assessments, behaviour support plans, progress reports, risk assessments, and recommendations that clearly articulate participant needs and outcomes.
- Collaborate closely with internal multidisciplinary team members and external stakeholders to ensure coordinated and effective supports.
- Maintain accurate records and documentation in line with organisational, professional, and NDIS requirements.
