Aruma needs YOU (yes, you!)

At Aruma, we support people with disabilities to live great lives. It's the reason we exist - after all, why should anyone have to settle for anything less? And to make this a reality, we rely on the skill and commitment of our Aruma team.

Our Aruma team is an incredible bunch of people. They're bold, brave and courageous. They see possibilities where others may not. They stand up for the things that matter and stand together as a team. And while they're serious about human rights, they have a knack for finding joy in life - even in the most unexpected places.
When you're part of the Aruma team, you're not just supporting people. You're pioneering new paths, challenging assumptions, daring to think differently, and telling society to raise its bar much higher.

We're after people who have values similar to ours, but there's no specific 'mould' you need to fit (after all, we need a team that's as diverse as our customers!).

There are, however, a few boxes you'll need to tick:

Must haves…

• Degree in psychology or associated discipline with clinical and/or registration requirements
• Membership of relevant professional body
• Understanding and knowledge of disability services
• Substantial knowledge of and demonstrated skill in the development and application of positive behaviour support
• Experience and understanding of functional behaviour assessment processes
• Understanding of NDIS principles and individualised approaches
• Experience in training, coaching and mentoring related to increasing behaviour support capacity
• Ability to analyse and interpret information towards producing assessments and reports
• Experience in working with complex clients and environments and finding solutions within this complexity
• Knowledge and understanding of restrictive intervention legislation and policy as well as experience in reducing restrictions placed on people
• Ability to work collaboratively with other stakeholders to ensure aligned outcomes for people
• Experience in working with clients who have multiple disabilities and risk factors
• Knowledge of contemporary models of practice and/or evidenced based practice in the disability sector and within the NDIS framework
• Substantial working knowledge of the relevant legislation that governs disability practice in Victoria
• Current Victorian Driver's License
• A valid employer Working with Children Check

So, who is Aruma? We are glad you asked.

Aruma is a new name in disability services, but we are definitely not new. You might remember us as House with No Steps and The Tipping Foundation, two great organisations, with over 100 years of combined experience, who came together in 2018.
