Empowering Choice. Building Capacity. Supporting Meaningful Lives.

• Implement Positive Behaviour Support strategies
• Promote choice, control and self-determination
• Facilitate community participation and social connection

You’ll be a strong fit for our team if you:

• Understand person-centred and strengths-based practice
• Can build genuine and respectful relationships
• Are calm, resilient and emotionally intelligent

• Are committed to participant choice and dignity
