- Building supportive relationships with (and among) participants, recognising and responding to individual strengths, triggers, and communication needs

- Guiding and mentoring a small team of Assistants, volunteers and/or students assigned to a Social Program

Facilitator Competency Pathway (all new program staff):

To support quality program delivery and ensure you feel confident in the role,



all new facilitators commence as an Assistant within an existing program.

During this phase, you will work alongside an experienced Facilitator to develop your understanding of our approach, program structure, and participant needs. You will progressively build capability across key facilitator competencies, including program delivery, behaviour support, communication, and documentation.

This staged approach ensures you are well prepared before taking responsibility for leading a program, and provides an opportunity for you to determine whether the role aligns with your expectations.

Once you have demonstrated the required competencies, you will transition into a Program Facilitator role and be allocated your own program and team.
