  • Deliver community engagement, education, and capacity building activities to support community access and inclusion.
  • Maintain compliance with performance measures and timeframes as set out by NDIA standard operating practices.

Requirements for Success:

  • A significant background in the Disability, Community Services and/or Mental Health sectors.

  • Tertiary qualifications in Community Services and/or experience in a community services position or similar industry.
  • Willingness to work between our Mount Barker & Victor Harbour offices depending on operational needs.
  • Prior experience partnering in the community with the NDIS would be desirable, or experience in working with people living with disability, their families, and carers.
  • Person-centred, culturally aware approach with the ability to explain complex information and manage conflict.
  • Exceptional administration skills and the ability to prepare reports and documentation working in a highly regulated environment.
  • Excellent organisation and time management, with well-developed written and verbal communication skills.
  • Proficient at developing and maintaining relationships with a diverse range of people to innovate and achieve positive outcomes.
  • Full driver's licence with no restrictions.
