- Engaging in handover discussions with Coordinators to gain a strong awareness and understanding required to support each service within their division during the weekend.
- Following Scope’s Policies and Procedures at all times, ensuring full compliance with regulatory requirements.
- Supporting the values and behaviors that are important to the successful operation of Scope’s business; the Scope Approach.

**What We Look For**
- Strong experience in disability services with a solid understanding of developmental learning approaches, local community networks, and person-centered support.
