We are recruiting on behalf of a purpose-driven organisation based in Brisbane's western suburbs, committed to the highest standards of behavioural support and care. Backed by experienced specialists and clinical expertise, they prioritise safety, growth, and dignity for everyone in their community, participants and staff alike.

Culture of Growth – Be authentically yourself whilst developing professionally. Regular supervision, team debriefs, and specialist mentoring provided.

High Standards, High Support – We seek team members who value professionalism, self- regulation, and relational integrity. No uniforms required—just bring your best self.

Meaningful Training – Comprehensive development in Positive Behaviour Support, trauma- informed care, safety planning, and evidence-based intervention techniques.

Potential Over Paperwork – Whether you're an experienced support worker, psychology/social work student, career changer, or bring lived experience—if you can stay calm under pressure, think critically, and connect authentically, we want to hear from you.
