NDIS Behaviour Support Practitioner suitability

Job description

Wanted: Positive Behaviour Support Practitioners Who Believe Great Outcomes Start With Great Support

Let's get something out of the way.

There are plenty of organisations looking for Behaviour Support Practitioners.

Most will tell you they're growing.
Most will tell you they value their practitioners.
And most will tell you they offer a supportive environment.

But here's the question...

Are they actually interested in helping YOU grow, or just growing their own business?

We're working with an organisation that believes the two should go hand in hand.

They're building something for the long term.

A company where practitioners are supported, ideas are welcomed, and professional development isn't just another line on the recruitment advertisement.

Positive Behaviour Support Practitioners at all levels

We’re looking for practitioners who want to be part of that journey.

The Gig

You’ll be working as an independent contractor, delivering Positive Behaviour Support services to NDIS participants.

Whether you’re a Core Practitioner building your experience or a Specialist Practitioner who has been doing this long enough to know that no two participants are ever the same, there’s an opportunity to have a conversation.

Your work may include:

Conducting Functional Behaviour Assessments
Developing evidence-based Behaviour Support Plans
Supporting participants with behaviours of concern
Working with families, carers and support teams
Providing guidance and training on behaviour support strategies
Collaborating with allied health professionals and other stakeholders
Monitoring and reviewing Behaviour Support Plans
Supporting the reduction and elimination of restrictive practices
Maintaining documentation in line with NDIS requirements
Most importantly, helping participants achieve meaningful improvements in their everyday lives

Because Positive Behaviour Support isn’t about simply managing behaviours.

It’s about understanding the person, their environment and what they’re trying to communicate.

Why You’ll Actually Want This One

They’re Growing. And They Want You Growing Too. This organisation has plans to expand.

But they understand that growing a business means very little if the people delivering the services aren’t growing alongside it.

They’re looking for practitioners who want to develop their skills, build their experience and potentially take on greater responsibilities as the organisation evolves.

Your Experience Matters.

Whatever Your Level.

Core Practitioner?

You’re still developing your skills and confidence. You’ll need the right support and supervision as you progress.

Proficient Practitioner?

You’ve built a solid foundation and you’re ready to continue developing your clinical expertise.

Advanced Practitioner?

You bring experience, strong clinical reasoning and the ability to manage more complex presentations.

Specialist Practitioner?

You have extensive knowledge and experience, and may be interested in contributing to clinical leadership, mentoring and the organisation’s future direction.

Different experience.
Different strengths.

Same commitment to ethical, person-centred support.

Flexibility Without Being Left on Your Own. One of the benefits of contracting is having greater control over how you work.

But independence shouldn’t mean isolation.

The organisation is looking to build collaborative relationships with its practitioners, with access to appropriate professional support and opportunities to connect with other clinicians.

Because sometimes the most valuable thing you can have is another experienced practitioner to bounce an idea off.

Be Part of Building Something

There’s something different about joining an organisation while it’s growing.

You’re not simply stepping into a position someone else has occupied for years.
You have an opportunity to contribute ideas, share your experience and help shape how services are delivered.

And as the organisation grows, there may be opportunities for your involvement to grow with it.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for practitioners across all capability levels:

Core
Proficient
Advanced
Specialist

You’ll need:

Relevant qualifications and experience in Positive Behaviour Support or a related discipline
Current NDIS Behaviour Support Practitioner suitability at your recognised capability level
Understanding of the NDIS Behaviour Support framework
Knowledge of restrictive practices and relevant reporting obligationsStrong communication and relationship-building skills
Ability to manage your own workload and professional responsibilities
Appropriate screening checks and contractor requirements
A commitment to ethical, evidence-based and person-centred practice

But we’re also looking for something that doesn’t appear on a certificate.

The Right Attitude

Someone who asks questions.

Someone who wants to keep learning.

Someone who understands that behaviour is communication.

And someone who believes that supporting a participant means working with them, not simply writing a plan about them.

What This Isn’t

Let’s save everyone a couple of interviews.

This isn’t a salaried position.

You’ll be engaged as an independent contractor, with the commercial arrangements discussed as part of the recruitment process.

It isn’t an opportunity for someone who wants to write a Behaviour Support Plan, email it off and never think about the participant again.

And it isn’t for someone who believes they’ve reached a point in their career where there’s nothing left to learn.

We’re looking for practitioners who take pride in their work and genuinely care about the outcomes they help create.

Why Make the Move?

Maybe you’re already contracting.

Maybe you’re considering moving away from traditional employment.
Or maybe you’re working with an organisation where you feel you’ve stopped growing.

Whatever your situation, here’s something worth considering.

The Right Organisation Shouldn’t Just Benefit From Your Experience. It Should Help You Build on It.

You should be able to look back in 12 months and see how you’ve developed.

Not just how many reports you’ve written.
Not just how many participants you’ve supported.

But how much you’ve grown as a practitioner.

That’s the kind of relationship this organisation wants to build.

Sound Like You?

Whether you’re a Core Practitioner finding your feet or a Specialist Practitioner looking for your next professional challenge, we’d love to hear from you.

We’re not asking for full-time commits or anyone to sign a long-term contract. This is a contractor role – you govern your hours, develop your own client load and enjoy a cost-plus rate that works for you.
