Jeder isn't your typical organisation.
There's no head office, no org chart, no one looking over your shoulder. What there is - is a national community of practitioners who genuinely care about the people they work with, and a real commitment to doing disability support differently.
We're looking for a Support Coordinator (CoS) to join us in Geelong and the surrounding region. If you know the NDIS inside out, love working with people and want the freedom to do your job well without being micromanaged - keep reading.

WHAT THE ROLE LOOKS LIKE
You'll work alongside NDIS participants to help them understand their plans, connect with the right supports and build the skills and confidence to navigate the system on their own terms. Some days that's practical and process-driven. Some days it's sitting with someone in a really hard moment and helping them find a way through.
Day to day, you'll be:
- Helping participants understand and get the most from their NDIS plans
- Connecting people with services, community supports and informal networks that fit where they live and how they want to live
- Coordinating complex, multi-provider supports alongside mainstream services
- Monitoring plan budgets across a 12-month cycle
- Completing service agreements, referrals, risk assessments and NDIA reports
- Supporting participants through plan reviews - developing goals, preparing documentation, advocating for what they need
A CoS is not a rostering service, a personal care worker, or a paid advocate.
This work is about building independence, not dependency.
