The Opportunity

We’re seeking a Developmental Educator to join our multidisciplinary team. This role is ideal for someone who is creative, empathetic, and values a person-centred, neuro-affirming approach. You’ll support neurodivergent young people through direct engagement, while also guiding families through the NDIS and broader service system to ensure support is truly tailored to their needs.

If you’re ready to be part of a purpose-driven team supporting neurodivergent young people to flourish—we’d love to hear from you!

As a Developmental Educator we are looking to:

  • Provide individualised learning and development support, focusing on self-determination, life skills, and confidence.
  • Provide Functional Capacity Assessments, Sensory profiling and progress reporting
  • Deliver play-based, sensory-friendly, and neuro-affirming interventions tailored to each person’s strengths and interests.
  • Support executive functioning, emotional regulation, social engagement, and daily living skills in a flexible, low-demand way.
  • Offer group and one-on-one programs to help individuals build skills and connections in ways that feel natural to them.
  • Work closely with our Employment Coaches, Mentors, Support Workers and Leadership team to ensure a holistic, individualised approach.
  • Be the primary contact for families, providing guidance, emotional support, and coordination of services.
  • Help families understand and navigate NDIS supports and community resources in a way that aligns with their needs and values.
  • Work alongside families to develop flexible and affirming support plans, reducing overwhelm and promoting autonomy.
  • Ensure communication between different professionals is seamless and collaborative, advocating for the young person’s best interests.
  • Provide education, coaching, and practical strategies for caregivers to support their child’s strengths and needs in daily life.

Who We’re Looking For:

  • A number of qualified Developmental Educator’s (with DEAI membership or working towards it).
  • Someone with experience in family-centred practice and service coordination, or a strong interest in taking on a Key Worker role.
  • Flexibility – we can look at part-time or full-time roles to fit your lifestyle
  • A professional who values collaboration, flexibility, and curiosity, and enjoys thinking outside the box.
  • Someone who understands the importance of practical, strategies that support growth and progression, sensory-informed, and strength-based learning.
  • A deep commitment to neuro-affirming, trauma-informed support that centres autonomy and self-advocacy.
  • Experience in alternative learning approaches, social connection programs, or independent living support is highly valued.

If you’re passionate about strengths-based, neuro-affirming approaches that provide practical tools, resources and strategies to support youth and families in this space, Together We Can International could be the perfect fit for you!
