Behaviour Support Therapist – Holder, ACT
$80,000 - $93.000 p.a. plus super.
As a Public Benevolent Institution Sanctuary Aus is fortunate in being able to offer staff up to $15,900 in salary packaging
Full-time or Part-Time
The Position
Sanctuary Aus is currently seeking a new Behaviour Support Therapist to join our Therapy Teem. As a Behaviour Support Therapist for our service, you will support children and young people, up to the age of 25 who have a disability and who use challenging behaviours – either externalised or internalised. The successful applicant will be responsible for preparing, implementing and reviewing Positive behaviour Support planning and practice. Occasionally, our direct clients are parents whose disability impacts on their parenting capacities. Our Behaviour Support Therapists are dedicated to making positive changes in the lives of our clients and their families.
Sanctuary Aus goes that little bit further than typical behaviour support: often providing pro bono support for the rest of the family when they are struggling to have their needs met through other services.
Sanctuary Aus provides our therapists with:
a warm, supportive and passionate team environment;
offices in the Grant Cameron Community Centre in Holder (Weston Creek), with free parking and co-location with multiple community service organisations;
The opportunity to work from the office and their home as suits, in addition to working in the client’s home and/or school to deliver direct services;
Full PBIS Salary packaging;
A work laptop and either a phone, or a phone allowance, if you prefer to use your own:
Individual professional supervision on at least a monthly basis;
Extensive induction training;
An extensive therapeutic library and tools for therapist use;
Administration support to maintain client intake, forms maintenance and invoicing;
Amazing, talented, quirky and challenging clients and their families.
Sanctuary Aus is seeking a passionate Behaviour Support Practitioner with:
Qualifications and experience in Behaviour Support, Psychology, Social Work, Mental Health, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, Teaching, or similar;
Alternatively, you may not have a relevant qualification, but have considerable work or life experience in similar areas;
Excellent professional writing skills;
Experience supporting children and young people with Autism, Intellectual Delays, Attention Deficits and similar is highly desirable.
Understanding that our client’s behaviours are their language to signal their needs;
Commitment to view and respond to a child’s behaviours and needs holistically;
Excellent relationship building skills;
Excellent team working skills and desire to work within a positive team environment;
A Working with Vulnerable People card, or the likely eligibility to gain this card;
AFP Police Check (this will be requested for the successful applicant).
Current Diver's License with little to no demerit points withdrawn;
Regular access to a safe and comprehensively insured vehicle;
It is desirable that the applicant has a basic understanding of the NDIS, though a deep understanding is not essential as the Administration Worker and Finance Team will manage the funding side of the NDIS system;
It is desirable, but not essential, that applicants are Approved Behaviour Support Practitioners with the ACT Quality and Safeguards Commission. Sanctuary Aus are happy to support the right applicant to gain this approval.
Sanctuary Aus strongly encourages people from Indigenous community, a diverse range of other cultures, age, gender, sexuality and those with a disability to apply for this position.
Please give Kim a call on 0438 875 937 (weekend call is fine) if you would like to discuss the role and/or how you would fit in the position.
