How you'll make an impact

The primary role of the Behaviour Support Practitioner is to provide expertise to staff in positive behaviour support and therapeutic support.

The role will require use of knowledge and experience to provide evidence and behaviour-based supports to clients in different environments and will focus on person-centred interventions to address the underlying causes of behaviours of concern or challenging behaviours. This role will work with Disability clients and have a case load of NDIS participants.

A day in the life as our Behaviour Support Practitioner with CareChoice, some of your key responsibilities in this role include:

  • Developing individualised strategies for people with disability that are responsive to the person's needs, in a way that reduces the occurrence and impact of behaviours of concern and minimises the use of restrictive practices.
  • Undertaking functional behavioural assessments to develop behaviour support plans containing evidence-based, proactive and reactive strategies that meet the specific needs of the person displaying behaviour of concern.
  • Developing, implementing, and monitoring behaviour support plans that meet CareChoice and NDIS requirements in consultation with the person with disability, their family, carers and other relevant people and service providers who will be implementing the plan.
  • Developing person-centred interventions to address the underlying causes of behaviours of concern, while safeguarding the dignity and quality of life of people with disability who require specialist behaviour support.
  • Ensuring that any interventions are in accordance with best practice, evidence-based contemporary positive behaviour support for individuals with behaviours of concern.
  • Planning and delivering behaviour support approaches that comply with the NDIS Quality and Safeguarding Framework and OH&S legislation. Ensuring staff are appropriately trained to implement positive behaviour strategies or use restrictive practices.
  • Facilitating planning and training events using approaches that promote team development, person centred thinking and positive behavioural support to develop individual plans and practical strategies leading to life enhancing outcome.

About you

As our Behaviour Support Practitioner, you will have a pro-active attitude, high degree of initiative and strong desire to achieve outstanding outcomes for our clients and staff, with a focus on person-centred interventions to address the underlying causes of behaviours of concern or challenging behaviours.

Ideally, you'll have:

  • Tertiary qualification in Psychology qualified to deliver behaviour support services.
  • Experience in the disability, counselling, family services or mental health sectors.
  • Experience providing clinical supervision.

Qualifications required:

  • Current Victorian Drivers Licence
