Behaviour Support Practitioner (Experienced)

About Kameleon Group

We are an NDIS-registered provider, and we support participants throughout NSW, QLD, VIC, WA, ACT and TAS, and we work with individuals of all ages, all diagnoses, and all behaviours. We utilise an array of technologies to allow you to focus on delivering exceptional services in an efficient way – you probably didn’t get into this field for the admin time, so we work to keep that to a minimum! We have a best-in-class induction training program to set you up for success.

About the Role

You will work in your local area - and we have several roles available in the Brisbane Central area, Logan Area, and South East Brisbane. If you live in any of these areas, or around the Greater Brisbane Area, we encourage you to apply!

This role has the flexibility to be either part-time (min 4 days) or full-time. This is a hybrid working-from-home and mobile role. You will be based at home (no commute!) and will go out to visit people in their homes, schools, workplaces, programs, and in the community.

Being a Behaviour Support Practitioner will involve working with people and their support networks to bring about behavioural change. We do this by understanding the relationship between a person’s environment (social and physical) and their behaviour, and then influencing that person’s environment so that it sets them up for success. Another important part of the role is supporting skill development to ensure people have effective ways to get their needs met.
