Support Coordinator/MND Advisor

2 weeks ago

Sunshine Coast, Australia Motor Neurone Disease Assn Queensland Full time $60,000 - $80,000 per year

We are seeking a highly organised, experienced, empathetic, and positive Support Coordinator who is interested in specialising in Motor Neurone Disease (MND).  You will have the opportunity to work closely alongside other MND Advisors/Support Coordinators and be well supported by our Team Lead.  You will be supporting clients with MND located in the Sunshine Coast region.

Why Join us?
  • Attractive remuneration package including salary sacrificing (we are a not-for-profit entity)
  • Excellent learning and development opportunities: with fortnightly "in-house" PD, regular 1:1 mentoring, and shadowing/supervision opportunities.
  • Highly flexible role:with the ability to work varied days and hours (including around school times).
  • Awesome company culture: we are a very passionate, mission-driven organisation who are all very committed to supporting clients and their loved ones who have been affected by MND.
About the Role

This is a permanent full-time position.  It can be based anywhere in the Sunshine Coast Region as you'll be expected to provide support to people with MND all over this region.

This role will be both rewarding and challenging. We support people at an incredibly difficult time in their lives, and in doing so, we are able to make a real difference at a time when support is most needed. You will be able to ensure that our clients receive the vital services that are available to them, and reduce the reliance on informal supports and therefore the impact on their family members.

You are required to have a high level of autonomy as you will be responsible for managing your own caseload with support and guidance from our Team Leader.  Whilst we work exclusively with MND clients, we take a highly individualised approach in our work to ensure clients receive the care they want/need, when they want/need it.

The role will see you:

  • Meet and engage with clients to provide information and advice following an MND diagnosis
  • Assist clients to understand and access funding
  • Provide pre-planning support to clients that are entitled to NDIS funding
  • Assist NDIS funded clients to understand their NDIS plan
  • Assist clients to utilise their allocated funding to meet their goals
  • Effectively coordinate a client's care team to ensure all supports delivered to the client are focused on their goals.  This includes working with public health, support workers, allied health, and medical practitioners.
  • Work with clients to build capacity and independence
  • Maintain up to date and accurate case notes relating to client supports
  • Maintain a thorough understanding of NDIS funding requirements, systems and practices
  • Maintain an understanding of other funding sources to support those clients not able to access NDIS funding such as My Aged Care
  • Develop knowledge of local service providers and Allied Health Professionals

This is largely a Work from Home position.  There is an expectation that you regularly provide face to face supports to your clients who will typically be based across the Sunshine Coast region.  You will also be expected to come to the Oxley Office periodically for team days and professional development.

About You

You will be highly organised, self-motivating, and proactive in finding solutions  You will have exceptional attention to detail and can be counted on to be reliable and true to your word.

You will be an experienced Support Coordinator with a strong understanding of the NDIS.

You will have strong communication and negotiation skills.  Most importantly, you will be a people person; friendly, caring, and supportive.

Ideally you will have experience in working with progressive neurological conditions and/or palliative care, and/or be proactive in upskilling and developing your knowledge and skills in these areas.

About Us

MND Queensland is a not-for-profit, charitable organisation that exists to support persons who have been diagnosed with MND; a progressive, and fatal neurological disorder.  We exist to provide additional supports and services to clients to complement publicly available services.  MND Queensland provides clients advisory and support coordination services, allied health supports, equipment hire, voice banking, and education.  Our team are all very passionate about providing our clients with the best possible care that preserves their independence and helps them achieve their goals for as long as possible.
