You’ll join an experienced, supportive team that shares ideas, makes space for questions and celebrates progress. We care deeply about our participants, and we bring that same care to the people working alongside us. ## A little about Lotus Assist We provide Behaviour Support, Support Coordination, Psychosocial Recovery Coaching and Plan Management, helping people with disability exercise choice, build on their strengths and access support that makes a meaningful difference in their lives.

We take time to listen, respect different perspectives and recognise that each person’s goals, experiences and needs are their own.

Our focus is on quality of life, autonomy, connection and meaningful participation. We’re also a team that enjoys working together.

- Room to be yourself. We take our work seriously, make room for a laugh and recognise that supporting our team helps us provide better support to participants. ## What you’ll be doing You’ll work alongside participants and their support networks to understand behaviour, identify unmet needs and develop strategies that make everyday life better. Your role will include:
- Completing functional behaviour assessments and developing individualised behaviour support plans.
- Listening to participants and working collaboratively with families, carers and other professionals.
