Job description

Empowering Choice. Building Capacity. Supporting Meaningful Lives.

At Kirinari, we deliver person-centred, therapeutic supports that empower people with disability to live the life they choose.

Why This Role Is Different

You won't simply be completing tasks.

You’ll be part of a therapeutic support model that focuses on:

• Strengths-based practice
• Trauma-informed support
• Positive Behaviour Support principles
• Capacity building and skill development
• Choice, control and self-determination
• Meaningful community participation

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

• Maintain accurate documentation and progress notes

Success in this role is measured not by tasks completed, but by outcomes achieved and the positive impact made in a participant's life.

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

If you're passionate about person-centred supports and want to be part of a team that focuses on capability, independence and meaningful outcomes, we’d love to hear from you.
