Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
The ability to build trust and rapport while maintaining professional boundaries
A consistent and reliable approach to support
The ability to balance empathy, flexibility, structure and routine
Confidence working independently while communicating effectively with the broader support team
A genuine commitment to supporting the participant’s independence, wellbeing and quality of life

Requirements

Demonstrated experience in complex mental health and/or psychosocial disability support
Demonstrated experience in de-escalation and supporting individuals experiencing emotional distress
