Real leadership scope: Drive best-practice PBS across your team and shape service systems and quality improvements.
-
Protected supervision & QA: Fortnightly 1:1’s, structured QA of documents, monthly audit participation, and practical support for complex cases.
-
Do great client work, too: Keep a small caseload for complex presentations so you stay sharp and credible.

-
Partner with leadership to improve systems, update service delivery processes, and reduce risk of complaints or non-compliance.
-
Support onboarding and training of new staff; escalate underperformance early; keep standards high and culture positive.
​
What you’ll bring
-
NDIS PBS Registration (Proficient or Advanced desirable).
-
Relevant tertiary qualification (Psych, OT, Social Work, Counselling or related), plus NDIS Worker Check, WWCC, driver’s licence and vehicle.
-
3+ years’ PBS/ABA/behaviour therapy experience, including complex cases.
-
