Proven experience managing aggressive, dysregulated, or high-risk behaviours
Strong understanding of trauma-informed care and behavioural support strategies
Demonstrated resilience, emotional regulation, and ability to remain calm under pressure
Ability to apply consistent boundaries and make sound decisions in dynamic environments
Strong communication and documentation skills
Shifts are available across mornings, afternoons, and active nights, seven days a week.

Mandatory Requirements

Valid ACT WWVP registration (or willingness to obtain)
National Police Check (within 6 months)
International Police Check (if applicable)
Valid First Aid & CPR
Current driver’s licence and reliable vehicle

Career progression opportunities
Access to confidential wellbeing and counselling support
