We’re looking for a Proficient (or above) NDIS Behaviour Support Practitioner ready to step into a genuine leadership role across Western Australia.

This isn’t just a senior title. You’ll spend a significant amount of your time leading, mentoring and developing a team of practitioners, while maintaining a small, well-supported caseload to stay connected to practice.
Location is flexible across WA.

Why This Role Exists
We’re building momentum in WA and need someone who can:

  • Maintain and elevate an already high standard of practice
  • Develop and stretch a strong, experienced team while supporting newer practitioners coming through
  • Keep a remote team engaged, connected, and operating as one team
Our recent nomination for Excellence in Allied Health at the WA Disability Support Awards isn’t about spin — it reflects what’s happening on the ground.  This is a chance to step into a high-performing team and help take it further — not rebuild it.

What You’ll Be Doing Leadership & Team Development (~60-70%)

  • Provide supervision, mentoring, and coaching to Behaviour Support Practitioners
  • Support onboarding and early development of new starters
  • Review behaviour support plans and provide clear, practical feedback
  • Guide clinicians through complex cases
  • Help shape a connected, accountable team culture across a geographically spread workforce
  • Identify capability gaps and actively lift the standard
Clinical Practice (~30–40%)
  • Manage a reduced caseload within your local area
  • Deliver high-quality, evidence-based behaviour support
  • Maintain your own clinical credibility as a leader
Your Soft Skills
  • Initiative and accountability 
  • Confidence in having constructive conversations with your teams
  • Balance independence with a strong sense of team
  • Stay composed in complex situations and help others do the same
  • Genuinely care about developing other clinicians
What You’ll Need
  • Proficient (or above) Registered Behaviour Support Practitioner
  • Demonstrated skills mentoring, supervising, or leading others
  • Strong clinical capability across behaviour support planning and implementation
  • Prior experience in disability, mental health, education, corrections or related fields
  • Relevant tertiary qualifications (AHPRA or AASW membership highly regarded) but not essential
Express interest today or for a confidential chat, reach out to Sally: 0405 738 ***
Additional information
  • Lead and mentor a high-performing WA Behaviour Support team
  • Shape clinical quality and support practitioner growth across the region
  • Stay hands-on with a reduced caseload to maintain clinical credibility
