About the Organisation
Life Without Barriers is a leading social purpose, not for profit organisation of 8,000 employees working in more than 500 communities across Australia. We support children, young people and families, people with disability, older people, and people with mental illness. We work with people who are homeless and refugees and asylum seekers.
Empowering people with disability to live life the way they choose is at the heart of how Life Without Barriers has operated for over 25 years. This is an exciting opportunity to join our team and continue this mission. Support people with disability to have the choice, control, and independence to live their best life. If you’re passionate about inclusivity, respect, and making a meaningful difference, this is the career move for you.
We want to employ people who reflect the diversity of our clients to ensure we can support each client's individual needs and wants. We encourage people of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander background and people with disability to apply.
About the role
Leading a team of Disability Support Workers, you will supervise client service delivery in Alice Springs (our Community Participation Program (CPP) and one Supported Independent Living home), ensuring that clients are enabled to maximise choice and control, and employees are actively supporting services to be safe and compliant.
This is a permanent full-time position and an opportunity to join a forward-thinking organisation where you will demonstrate your leadership experience in the disability sector and focus on strength-based practice and empowerment.
As an organisation, we are committed to improving outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander individuals, families, and communities. It is vital that our clients feel connected to the country and the community. As an employer, we provide a safe workplace culture and various opportunities for staff to connect with our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander teams through regular yarning circles, as well as opportunities to engage with our Reconciliation vision and goals.
