Behaviour Support Practitioner (Subcontractor)
Illawarra / Shoalhaven
A Behaviour Support role designed for thoughtful, relationship-based practice.
If you’re looking for a role where you can do meaningful, thoughtful work and build genuine connections with the people you support, this opportunity is intentionally designed with that in mind.
At All and Sundry Therapy, we’ve designed our service to support thoughtful, relational Behaviour Support,
where there is space to get to know people, work collaboratively, and focus on what genuinely makes a difference in everyday life.
We are a practitioner-led organisation, run by experienced Behaviour Support Practitioners, including a Registered Social Worker with over 10 years’ experience across Behaviour Support and clinical services.
Our approach is grounded in real-world practice, with a strong focus on quality, sustainability, and doing this work well.
Who we are
We are a small, community-based team delivering person-centred, trauma-informed and neuro-affirming Positive Behaviour Support.
We prioritise:
- meaningful relationships
- time in real-life settings (home, school, work, and community)
- thoughtful, individualised support
About the role
You’ll work alongside participants, families, and support teams across the Illawarra and Shoalhaven, providing Behaviour Support that is practical, respectful, and grounded in everyday contexts.
This role will suit someone who:
- values relational, person-led practice
- and face-to-face connection as part of your role
- can work independently while remaining connected to a team
- wants to be part of a service that prioritises quality over volume
- Is willing to travel between the Illawarra and Shoalhaven areas
What you’ll be doing
- Completing assessments and developing high-quality Behaviour Support Plans
- Working collaboratively with participants, families, schools, support staff, and other stakeholders
- Translating behavioural understanding into clear, practical strategies
- Supporting teams to implement approaches that are respectful and sustainable
- Contributing to the reduction and elimination of restrictive practices
- Maintaining strong clinical reasoning, documentation, and communication

- Administrative support provided
- 1:1 clinical supervision and group peer support
- Access to templates, systems, and resources
- A collaborative, down-to-earth team culture
This structure allows you to focus on clinical work and meaningful outcomes, rather than competing demands.
What makes this role different
At All and Sundry, we are intentionally small, relational, and values-driven.
We are not a high-volume service. Instead, we focus on:
- taking the time to understand each person
- building trust with families and teams
- developing support that is genuinely tailored and usable
This is a role for someone who wants to engage in considered, relationship-based Behaviour Support practice.

- has demonstrated experience supporting people with disability in meaningful ways
- communicates effectively with families, teams, and professionals
- values trauma-informed, person-centred, and neuro-affirming practice

- has strong writing skills and can produce clear, high-quality documentation
To be considered, you must have:
- A minimum of 5 years’ experience supporting people with disability, and/or
- A relevant tertiary qualification (social work, psychology, teaching, counselling, positive behaviour support or similar)
Experience in Positive Behaviour Support, complex support needs, and stakeholder collaboration will be highly regarded.
Additional highly regarded experience
- Direct Positive Behaviour Support experience
- Understanding of the NDIS Quality & Safeguards environment
- Experience working within complex support systems
- Confidence balancing autonomy with collaboration
- Suitability as an NDIS Behaviour Support Practitioner (or working towards)
