Unlock Meaningful Careers with Everyday Independence

We're seeking a dedicated professional to join our interdisciplinary team as a Developmental Educator. This role presents an unparalleled opportunity to make a lasting impact on the lives of individuals with disabilities, their families, and support teams.

About the Role:

In this pivotal position, you'll collaborate with participants and their key supporters to develop new skills and habits, problem-solve challenges, and champion social model practices. As a seasoned practitioner, you'll work alongside habit coaches (allied health assistants) to provide evidence-based support and foster strong working relationships.

Your expertise will be invaluable in enhancing people's capacity to make informed life choices, increasing independence, and promoting quality-of-life outcomes. You'll approach risk positively, ensuring safeguards are in place to protect vulnerable individuals' rights and well-being.

Responsibilities:
  • Conduct initial assessments using our LEAD evidence-based assessment tool.
  • Liaise with the interdisciplinary team to wrap appropriate supports around participants and their families.
  • Support individuals in their everyday environments – home, work, school, or community.
  • Capacity build support teams to create capable environments.
  • Attend peer group supervision/mentoring and professional learning to enhance expertise and skills.
  • Participate in weekly team meetings and share impactful stories.
  • Engage in reflective practice to develop evidence-based plans.
The Ideal Candidate:

To succeed in this role, you'll possess a Bachelor or Master's degree in Disability (or equivalent), be eligible for DEAI membership, and have experience as a Behaviour Support Practitioner. Your passion for removing barriers using the social model of therapy, empathy, and strong advocacy skills will be essential in making a tangible difference.

You'll also need to obtain an NDIS Worker Screening Check & Working with Children's Check and hold a valid driver's license.

What We Offer:

We provide a supportive and inclusive environment where you can thrive. Enjoy flexible working options, wellbeing days, purchase leave, paid parental leave (after 12 months), purpose leave, and regular team events. You'll also benefit from free Pilates, yoga, snacks, and drinks, as well as relocation options and pet-friendly hubs.

As a valued member of our team, you'll receive discounts on various goods and services. Our comprehensive benefits package is designed to support your personal and professional growth, empowering you to make a lasting impact in the lives of those we serve.
