About Gateways: At Gateways Support Services we walk alongside children, young people and adults with disability and their families to help build independence, confidence and connection. Our services span early childhood intervention, respite, skill development, independent living, specialist care, and more, always shaped around the needs of each individual.
We are a diverse team of mountain bike riders, comedians, skiers, surfers, gamers, movie buffs, musicians, cat people, dog people and more. What unites us is a shared passion for supporting people with disability and making every day a better day. Guided by our values of Commitment, Opportunity, Respect, Excellence and Empathy, everything we do is about creating safe, high-quality supports that help people thrive and enjoy a better quality of life.
The role:
As Client Care Coordinator, you are the welcoming first point of contact for clients, families and community members seeking disability support at Gateways . You’ll play a key role in shaping the customer experience from the very first interaction - listening carefully, responding with warmth and professionalism, and helping people feel supported, understood and confident as they take their next steps.
This is a maximum-term, 12 month contract concluding in November 2027.
You will manage enquiries across phone, email and in-person channels, provide clear and accurate information about services, and guide clients and families through intake and onboarding processes. Working closely with internal teams, you will ensure enquiries are triaged efficiently, information is consistent, and handovers into services are smooth and well-coordinated.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working directly with people, thrives in a fast-paced service environment, and understands that how we communicate is just as important as what we communicate - particularly when supporting individuals and families navigating complex systems such as the NDIS.
The successful candidate will demonstrate:
- A strong commitment to delivering inclusive, empathetic and client-centred customer service
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain services and processes clearly and confidently
- Experience managing enquiries, intake or onboarding processes in a service-based environment
- Strong organisational skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities and meet timeframes
- Confidence using systems and maintaining accurate, compliant records
- An understanding of (or willingness to learn) the NDIS, safeguarding and privacy requirements
- A collaborative approach, working effectively with internal teams and external referrers
- Professional judgement when resolving issues or escalating concerns appropriately
Why Gateways? At Gateways you will find more than a job – you will find purpose. Every role contributes to safe, high-quality supports and positive outcomes for people with disability and their families.
You will be part of a team that celebrates individuality, fosters belonging and creates opportunities to learn and grow.
