Supported Independent Living (SIL) Practice Leader

Lead. Inspire. Make Real Impact.

Are you an experienced disability leader ready to step into a role where you truly make a difference?

Australian Mentoring Services (AMS) is growing in Wollongong, and we’re looking for a confident, capable SIL Practice Leader with strong experience supporting participants with complex Autism (ASD) and psychosocial disability.

This is not a desk-only leadership role. This is hands-on, purpose-driven leadership where your expertise shapes lives.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Lead complex, meaningful work that changes lives
• Build and mentor high-performing SIL teams
• Join a values-led organisation that genuinely supports its leaders

The Opportunity

You will oversee the day-to-day operations of our Supported Independent Living homes, ensuring safe, consistent, and high-quality support for participants with complex behavioural and psychosocial presentations.

You’ll:

• Lead and develop mentors across multiple homes
• Implement and review behaviour support strategies
• Drive compliance with NDIS Practice Standards
• Work closely with families, clinicians, and stakeholders
• Champion a strong, accountable, positive team culture

What You Bring

• 3+ years’ experience in SIL or complex NDIS settings
• Strong background supporting complex ASD & psychosocial disability
• Leadership experience supervising and developing teams
• Solid knowledge of behaviour support frameworks
• Cert IV or higher in Disability, Mental Health or Community Services
• Driver’s licence and ability to travel locally

Why AMS?

At AMS, we don’t just provide support — we build environments where people feel safe, connected, and empowered to live a life worth living.

You’ll be supported, challenged, and given room to lead properly.
