We are committed to working in partnership with participants, families, and the broader community to ensure the support we provide is impactful, inclusive, and tailored to individual needs.

**The Opportunity**

We’re currently seeking a compassionate, skilled, and motivated **Support Coordinator (COS)** to join our team. In this rewarding and dynamic role, you’ll be responsible for assisting NDIS participants to **navigate the NDIS system, build their independence, and coordinate the supports they need** to achieve their goals.

This role is perfect for someone who enjoys **problem-solving, working autonomously**, and building strong, person-centred relationships with participants and support networks.

**Capacity Building & Advocacy**
- Work closely with participants to build their capacity for choice, control, and independence
- Provide coaching to help them understand how to use their NDIS funds and manage supports
- Advocate for participants when challenges arise with service access or delivery

**NDIS Plan Implementation**
- Develop and implement individual support plans based on the NDIS goals of each participant
- Monitor plan usage and support ongoing plan reviews and reassessments
- Liaise with the NDIA, Local Area Coordinators, and other stakeholders when required

**Community Engagement & Networking**
- Build and maintain strong working relationships with local providers and referral partners
- Promote inclusive practices and strengthen participants' connection to their local community

**Documentation & Compliance**
- Maintain accurate participant records, progress notes, and reports
- Ensure all work complies with NDIS Quality & Safeguarding standards
- Use case management systems to track outcomes and deliverables

**About You**

You are a compassionate, motivated individual who is committed to delivering high-quality support coordination. You bring a balance of professionalism, initiative, and empathy to everything you do.

**To succeed in this role, you will need**:

- Proven experience working with people with disability or in a support coordination role
- Solid understanding of the NDIS framework and its funding categories
- Ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team
- Excellent communication, interpersonal, and organisational skills
- Strong problem-solving ability and a capacity to manage competing priorities
- A person-centred, strengths-based approach to service delivery
- Confidence using digital platforms for case management and reporting

**Minimum Requirements**:

- Relevant qualifications in community services, disability, social work, or a related field
- Current Working with Children Check and NDIS Worker Screening Check
- National Police Clearance (or willingness to obtain)
- Current Driver’s Licence and reliable vehicle
- High level of computer literacy (e.g. MS Office, CRM systems)

**What We Offer**
- Part-time, stable employment with flexibility
- Ongoing learning and development opportunities
- A supportive, respectful, and inclusive workplace culture
- Competitive salary
- Career development pathways in a growing organisation
