Disability Service Coordinator jobs

NDIS Support Coordinator (Full-Time)

• Location: Penrith NSW & 2 days WFH following probation
• Work Type: Full-Time
• Sector: Disability Support / NDIS
• Pay: 65K to 80K + Super depending on experience

Are you passionate about empowering NDIS participants to navigate the system, build capacity, and achieve their goals? Do you thrive in a collaborative, close-knit environment where hard work is balanced with a good laugh?

At Assist Disability, we do things a little differently. We believe that the best outcomes happen when professionals collaborate, innovate, and support one another. We are seeking a dedicated, full-time Support Coordinator to join our small, highly supportive multidisciplinary team in Western Sydney.

• We set you up for success, not burnout. While this is typically not your 9-to-5 role, you will start with a lower billable target and a warm pipeline of initial participant referrals, giving you the space to comfortably build your caseload over your first few months.
• Set KPI: 25 billable hours per week.
• A small team that works hard, shares knowledge, research, collaborates, and is always ready for a laugh.
• Enjoy 2 days' work from home following training and probation.
• Dedicated Office Space in Penrith featuring free onsite parking.

As a Support Coordinator, you will work holistically with participants across various age groups (children, young adults, and adults) to connect them with mainstream, community, and provider networks.

Responsibilities:

• Support participants to understand, implement, and maximize their NDIS plans.
• Budget planning and management to ensure participants get the most out of their plans for the life of the plan.
• Travel across Western Sydney as required to conduct in person visits with participants and their support networks in their home.
• Foster capacity building, independence, and resilience within vulnerable participants.
• Coordinate, research and follow up multi-agency service delivery, working closely with internal PBS practitioners and external providers.
• Conduct research and phone calls to providers to present participants with multiple options for providers.
• Write comprehensive evidence-based progress reports and advocate effectively for participants during NDIS plan reviews.
• Manage your caseload efficiently to meet the 25 minimum billable hours per week milestone once fully ramped up.
• Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of client interactions and progress.

Requirements:

• Current valid Australian driver’s license and have access to a reliable, registered vehicle to perform community-based visits.
• Strong knowledge around disability, the NDIS ecosystem, and supporting vulnerable people. This role requires empathy, compassion, and understanding for people from all walks of life.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills for report writing and negotiation to advocate effectively for your participants' funding and needs, communication with providers and effectively conduct research.
• Computer literacy for managing spreadsheets, NDIS pages, internal CRM software, report writing and research.
• You love being part of a small team, are willing to share your own knowledge, research and appreciate a workplace that values both hard work and a positive, lighthearted atmosphere.
• Experience in a support or care role is advantageous, though entry-level candidates are encouraged to apply.
• Current NDIS Worker Screening Check, Employee/ paid Working with Children Check (WWCC), full work rights and driver's license.
