Careers – Forensic Disability Support Worker

About the Role

We’re seeking committed and skilled Disability Support Workers to join our team in supporting a participant with complex needs, including justice system involvement, mental health complexities and a history of behaviours of concern.

  • Support from a dedicated and passionate leadership team.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Deliver high-quality community access support
  • Build and maintain safe, trusting, and professional relationships within the context of risk-aware boundaries
  • Implement BSPs and follow PBS strategies consistently
  • Monitor and respond to behaviours of concern in a calm, non-escalating manner, and record incident data clearly
  • Support the participant’s transition goals, independence, and reengagement with community
  • Engage in ongoing training and reflective practice.

About you

  • Male
  • Dinka language (highly preferred)
  • Forensic disability support
  • Trauma-informed care
  • Risk management in community settings
  • Positive Behaviour Support frameworks
  • Professional boundaries and ethical decision-making
  • Can stay calm under pressure, manage dynamic environments, and model predictability and respect.

  • Minimum 12 months experience supporting people with complex behaviours (ideally forensic experience)
  • Experience implementing Behaviour Support Plans and engaging in incident prevention

Desirable:

  • Strong writing and documentation skills
