ABOUT Our ORGANISATION

At Purpose Powered, we deliver positive behaviour support for participants accessing the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). We proudly prioritise quality over quantity — investing time in collaborative planning, skill building and evidence-based strategies that genuinely reduce restrictive practices and improve wellbeing.

We work with a wide range of people and stakeholders, including government systems such as; public guardian, youth justice, corrections, child safety, QLD Health (mental health), education etc. Experience in navigating these systems is not required although is highly regarded.

We value

• Quality over quantity,
• Person-centred values and cultural sensitivity / responsivity,
• Evidence-based practice and ongoing learning,
• The ability to balance practical outcomes with ethical decision making,
• Flexible working and a strengths-based approach.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The primary aim of behaviour support is to improve the quality of life for participants by identifying and addressing behaviours of concern, documenting agreed strategies in behaviour support plans and delivering training. Behaviour support practitioners deliver functional behaviour assessments, draft and implement behaviour support plans that are individualised to a persons context and support the people that support participants. The delivery of behaviour support can be creative and dynamic in ways that are meaningful to participants. The role may require some travel to engage with stakeholders and participants.

Positive behaviour support through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is delivered through a structured framework with legislative guidelines as well as reporting requirements as set out by the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission. Knowledge of these systems, including reporting requirements is highly regarded.

ABOUT YOU

We’re seeking an experienced (life experience counts!) and compassionate Behaviour Support Practitioner to join our growing team. You will be able to navigate dynamic stakeholder groups and always prioritise the views and wishes of the participant in the journey towards improving their quality of life. Ideally, you are a lifelong learner and committed to professional development so that you can continue to shape your skills in supporting participants and families. Purpose Powered support a number of participants engaged with Child Safety and/or the justice system, so any experience or knowledge of these systems is highly regarded. Behaviour support does require an ability to deliver written reports as well as delivery of training to small groups which may be in person or online - this offers a unique blend of autonomous and self-directed writing alongside some public speaking in stakeholder meetings or delivery of training.

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS

Purpose Powered currently operates on a fully remote basis so work from home is the standard! While this role is advertised as a full-time position, we appreciate that your context might be better suited to part time or compressed hours - we are happy to explore what this might look like, including sub-contracting or other arrangements. Professional development is a key focus - where we can tie the learning outcomes directly to your role, we are supportive of further training. This may include external/professional supervision, especially if you are an Entry Level or Core practitioner.
