  • Strong organisational and time management skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities.
  • Experience maintaining accurate records and working with digital client management systems.
  • The ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with a multidisciplinary team.
  • Sound judgement, professional boundaries and a commitment to participant safety and wellbeing.

Essential requirements:

  • Relevant qualification in Community Services, Disability, Social Work, Human Services or a related discipline (or equivalent experience).
