I am a young child, learning my way in the world. My development is at a stage where support is needed. I am reaching out to you to facilitate the supports that I need to learn and thrive. I put my trust in you to get this critical process started so I can reach my developmental milestones. I need you to maintain confidentiality in my local community in this process.

What does this role look like on a daily basis? 

You will engage at several points along the journey with a child and their family. Each day will have different and often competing challenges for you to assess and demonstrate knowledge around, including but not limited to:

• Knowledge of 0-6 developmental milestones and the impact of known & unknown disability on children and their families/support networks
• Delivering short term early intervention and assisting families with accessing the NDIS
• Receiving and interpreting various reports from allied health professionals and conveying that information to the family in a way that is easily understood
• Liaise with community groups, overcome language barriers, respect and assimilate into various cultural groups across your local communities.

The skills and experience we are looking for include: 

• Understanding the importance of implementing a tailored and personalised approach to children and their families - one size does not fit all.
• Sound report writing and follow-up consultation of approved NDIS plans
• Experience providing family support and/or family therapy to families using a family focused and strengths based approach
• Demonstrated experience supporting and implementing early childhood intervention strategies with families using a capacity building approach.
• Current Drivers’ Licence.
