We are looking for an experienced Positive Behaviour Support specialist who is passionate about researching and developing others to improve their report writing, formulation, and strategy development skills.
We believe in providing services that are evidence-based, practical, and appropriate for the participant and their environments. Our goal is to help clients address behavioral challenges, achieve their goals, and reach their potential.

Our plans enhance the capacity and confidence of support systems in providing effective support.
In this role, you will be:
- Reviewing Positive Behaviour Support Plans
- Providing training, support, and guidance to staff
- Participating in research to build the evidence base for our plans, with the possibility of publication in peer-reviewed journals
There is also potential involvement in supervising provisional psychologists (if registered in psychology) or providing PBS or other allied health services if interested.
These are flexible full-time or part-time roles for the right candidates, with multiple positions available as we grow our team.
