- 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.

- 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.
