Job description

Join Positive Mind Body — Build the practice you'd want to work in.

$115,000 – $130,000 + Super + Performance Bonus + KM's

We’re looking for an experienced Behaviour Support Practitioner to join either our Brisbane/SEQ team. Relocation expenses will be paid for, if you reside elsewhere.

Reporting to our National Service Delivery Manager, you'll provide clinical and operational leadership to a small team of Behaviour Support Practitioners across [greater SEQ and surrounding regions], while holding a reduced but complex caseload of your own — around [40%-50%] of your week.

You will be the link between clinical practice and operational delivery in your region. Holding a key role in supporting practitioner development, maintaining clinical excellence and ensuring high-quality participant outcomes while fostering a positive, collaborative and values-driven culture.

The Opportunity

Are you an experienced Behaviour Support Practitioner ready to step into leadership? Or already leading, and looking for somewhere your decisions actually land?

What you'll lead

Your team

• Weekly one-on-one supervision with each practitioner in your region

• Weekly group supervision with peers at matched experience levels

• Recruitment, onboarding and retention

• Contributing to staff development, performance reviews and professional growth planning

Clinical quality

• Reviewing FBAs, interim plans and behaviour support plans before submission to the Commission

• Escalation point for complex cases, restrictive practice decisions and risk

• Incident, compliance and complaint management in line with NDIS Practice Standards

• Supporting human-rights-based, neuro-affirming practice across every plan and daily practice

Operational delivery

• Caseload allocation and workload balance across your team

• Supporting practitioners to meet billable targets and documentation requirements

• Working collaboratively with senior leaders to improve systems, processes and service outcomes

Your own practice

• Deliver high-quality, evidence-based behaviour support services to clients, while providing operational and clinical leadership to a team of Behaviour Support Practitioners

The support you'll get

Clinical support isn't an add-on here — and that applies to leaders too.

• Fortnightly one-on-one with the National Service Delivery Manager

• Weekly clinical and leadership supervision for your own clinical and leadership development

• Full administrative support - we take off as much admin as we can so you can focus on what you do best!

• Direct input into national decisions on service delivery, quality and growth

You won't be building this alone.

How you will work

Brisbane — you'll work primarily from home, with the flexibility to structure your week around your team and your participants. While we don't have a physical office in Brisbane, we prioritise connection, with monthly company-wide in-person catchups to collaborate, learn, and spend time together as a team.

Regardless of your location, we offer

• Flexible, work-from-home model

• Autonomy over your schedule

• No micromanagement — we trust you to do your job

What you will get

• $115,000 – $130,000 base salary + Super

• Performance bonus potential

• $1/km travel reimbursement

• Protected leadership time — a genuinely reduced caseload, not a nominal one

• Relocation budget provided

• A team small enough that what you build sticks

What you will need

• Relevant tertiary qualifications in Psychology, Social Work, Occupational Therapy, Speech Pathology, Behavioural Science or a related allied health / human services discipline

• NDIS Behaviour Support Practitioner registration at Proficient level or above (Advanced or Specialist highly regarded)

• Demonstrated experience supervising, mentoring or developing behaviour support practitioners

• Strong understanding of NDIS Practice Standards, restrictive practice requirements, reportable incidents and human-rights frameworks

• Sound clinical reasoning, and the judgement to know when to elevate and when to back your team

• Ability to balance team support with operational accountability

• Excellent interpersonal, written and verbal communication skills

• Confidence with IT systems and digital service delivery (e.g. telehealth)

• Current Working with Children Check and NDIS Worker Check (or ability to obtain)

• Driver's licence and own vehicle

• Full Australian working rights

Highly regarded: experience building clinical systems — supervision models, documentation standards, quality frameworks — rather than only operating within them.
