BEHAVIOUR SUPPORT PRACTITIONERS: YOUR JOB CAN BE ABOUT MORE THAN WRITING A PLAN THAT NOBODY USES.

You know the difference a thoughtful practitioner can make. The parent who finally feels heard. The support worker who understands what sits underneath someone’s distress. The person whose life gets bigger because the people around them change how they offer support.

Perfectly Imperfect is looking for a Behaviour Support Practitioner, with flexible part-time employment or contractor opportunities.

And yes, we have a strong point of view about behaviour support. We believe people deserve dignity when they’re distressed. Families and support workers bring knowledge worth listening to. And a beautifully written plan means very little if it doesn’t translate into everyday life.

A bit about us

We’re a neurodivergent-led, trauma-informed and rights-based practice supporting children, teenagers and adults. Our work extends beyond neurodivergence. We support people with disability, psychosocial disability, and complex and high support needs, alongside the families and teams supporting them.

We work to understand the person: their communication, relationships, sensory experiences, health, environment, trauma and what matters to them. Then we turn that understanding into practical support that builds safety, autonomy, connection and quality of life.

How we work matters.

Our behaviour support is delivered through telehealth, home visits SIL Settings and collaboration with the people involved in everyday support. We bring together the person’s own perspective, family and support worker knowledge, detailed reporting and, where appropriate and consented to, audio or video information.

We take the knowledge of familiar,



trusted people seriously. We also ask thoughtful questions, examine patterns and remain curious about what we might be missing. You’ll be developing assessments and meaningful behaviour support plans, coaching support teams, reviewing what’s working and helping people put strategies into practice.

You might be our kind of practitioner if:

- You’re curious about what distress is telling us.
- You can discuss risk and complex support needs while keeping dignity central.
- You listen to families and support workers without losing the person’s own voice.
- You understand that consent, autonomy and felt safety belong in everyday practice.
- You write practical recommendations people can actually use.
- You’re willing to reflect, ask questions and change your approach when the evidence calls for it.

What’s on offer?

Versatile part-time or contractor arrangements. A telehealth and in-person model. The opportunity to bring your clinical thinking, lived experience and ideas into a practice with a clear commitment to affirming, ethical support.

We welcome neurodivergent and disabled applicants, and we’re happy to discuss adjustments throughout recruitment.
