The Junction Works is looking for a Support Coordinator to support NDIS Participants and their families and carers to understand, optimise and implement the funded supports in their NDIS plan and to link them to informal, mainstream, and funded supports.
About The Role
The Support Coordinator’s role is one of capacity building to enable participants to have greater choice and control in their lives.
Support coordinators will ensure service agreements and service bookings are completed and can assist in preparing a participant for their NDIS Plan review.
The Support Coordinator needs to understand how to provide person centered support and act with respect for individual rights to freedom of expression, self-determination and decision making.

Who We’re Looking For
- Experience working with vulnerable people in times of crisis
- Experience working with people living with a disability who may require additional support with their communication or cultural needs

- Ability to identify and understand challenges facing people from culturally and linguistically diverse and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander backgrounds.
- High level of computer skills including a strong understanding of Microsoft Office or 360.
