Senior Support Coordinator

About the role

COLLECTIVE was established in 2018. From its inception COLLECTIVE has grown, both in size and reputation, and is now recognised as a leader in providing expert coordination, clinical and consultancy services in the NDIS, Aged Care and Mental Health space.

COLLECTIVE aspires to be an innovation hub that brings together the "out of box" thinkers in support coordination, behaviour support and clinical services. COLLECTIVE aims to unite experienced people with varied skills and knowledge to offer the best choice for our clients.

We are looking for support coordinators and senior support coordinators who value openness and good communication, who want to do their best and never stop being curious and open to learning. Perhaps you're an independent co-ordinator not wanting to go through the mandatory NDIS registration and looking to join an experienced team?

We are also looking for mental health clinicians (social work, psychology, occupational therapy, nurse) who have a strong passion for clinical excellence in the fields of Intellectual and Cognitive Disabilities.

In turn and in addition to competitive remuneration, COLLECTIVE provides a framework of clinical and operational support and potential for progression into senior role and partnership opportunities.
