Director, Professional Practice

Launch Behaviour Support & Training

Help us make excellent behaviour support practice the standard, not the exception.

Are you an experienced clinical leader who believes there's a better way to support practitioners, strengthen professional practice and improve outcomes for the people we serve?

So do we.

At Launch Behaviour Support & Training, we're building something a little different.

We believe that excellent behaviour support is grounded in sound behavioural science, respect for human rights, meaningful collaboration and an unwavering commitment to improving quality of life.

We also believe that excellent practice doesn't happen by accident. It requires skilled and supported practitioners, thoughtful systems, strong professional leadership and a culture where curiosity, reflection and continuous improvement are part of everyday work.

We're looking for an exceptional Director, Professional Practice to help us bring that vision to life.

Who we are

Launch Behaviour Support & Training is a growing Australian organisation with a clear purpose: to advance the quality of behaviour support through excellent clinical services, professional supervision, education and collaboration.

Our work spans two connected areas:

- To the Moon & Back: Our registered NDIS specialist behaviour support service, delivered through a growing network of experienced paediatric practitioners.
- Launch Supervision & Training: Supporting behaviour practitioners to develop their knowledge, skills, skilled judgement and confidence through supervision, training, practical resources and opportunities for professional connection and collaboration.

Together, these services give us a unique perspective on the challenges facing behaviour practitioners and the systems, resources and professional support they need to thrive. We're continually exploring new ways to make high-quality supervision, professional learning and practitioner support more accessible, relevant and sustainable.

Our values of Integrity, Excellence, Collaboration, Connection, Empowerment, Innovation and Inspiration aren't simply words on a page. They guide how we work, how we make decisions and what we expect of ourselves.

The opportunity

As Director, Professional Practice, you'll join our executive leadership team, working closely with the Managing Director and the Director, Supervision & Training. You'll bring clinical expertise, professional judgement and systems thinking to a role that combines strategic influence with practical leadership.

This isn't a role about maintaining the status quo. It's about building on strong foundations and helping us do things better.





Your leadership will focus on four key areas:

Lead clinical supervision and grow professional capability. Provide direct clinical supervision to practitioners within our behaviour support service, strengthening clinical reasoning, professional judgement and quality of practice. Mentor practitioners, support their professional development and foster a culture of thoughtful feedback, collaboration and continuous improvement.

Champion clinical excellence. Strengthen evidence-informed, rights-based behaviour support through quality frameworks, practice guidance, clinical mentoring and meaningful quality improvement.

Build systems that support great practice. Develop practical, sustainable approaches to clinical governance, safeguarding, quality assurance, regulatory compliance and operational processes. We believe good systems should support good practice, not get in its way.

Grow people and professional capability. Provide clinical supervision, support practitioner development and contribute to a culture of thoughtful feedback, shared learning and professional growth.

Help shape what's next. Work collaboratively with our leadership team to turn ambitious ideas into practical initiatives that strengthen clinical services, professional learning and practitioner support.

You'll also maintain a clinical supervision caseload, keeping your leadership grounded in the realities of professional practice.

The leader we're looking for

First and foremost, you're an accomplished behaviour support professional with strong clinical credibility and a genuine commitment to excellent, rights-based practice.

But we're looking for more than technical expertise.

You're intellectually curious, willing to question established ways of working and open to different perspectives.

You're a systems thinker, recognising that quality depends not just on individual expertise, but on the environments, resources and relationships that support practitioners.

You're a pragmatic innovator who can see what's possible and knows how to make it happen.

You're a collaborative, principled leader who develops people, communicates with clarity and kindness, and holds high expectations while providing genuine support.
