A Positive Behaviour Support career where you are supported to grow

At Community Solutions, you will be part of a structured Positive Behaviour Support team working across Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria.

You will support people with disability to understand behaviours of concern, build practical skills, reduce restrictive practices and improve quality of life.

This is behaviour support that goes beyond plans. It is about working with participants, families, carers and support teams to create practical strategies that make daily life safer, more positive and more connected.

You will do important work, grow your practice and be supported by people who understand the complexity of the role.

What you can expect when you join us

You will have access to supervision, mentoring, peer support and clinical guidance to help you build confidence in your practice.

A stable role with structure

A consistent caseload, reliable income and a clear team environment mean you can focus on quality outcomes without having to manage everything on your own.

Career growth

You will have opportunities to build your Positive Behaviour Support capability and progress into senior practitioner, team leader or clinical leadership roles over time.

Real impact

Your work will help people live safer, more independent and connected lives.

A team that understands the work

Is this the right next step for you?

This role may be a good fit if you:

  • Are passionate about supporting people with disability
  • Are curious about behaviour and what it may be communicating
  • Want to build or deepen your positive behaviour support practice
  • Value supervision, teamwork and professional development
  • Want more stability than contract-based work
  • Are looking for purposeful work with a clear career pathway

You may be an experienced Behaviour Support Practitioner, or you may be earlier in your career with relevant qualifications and a strong interest in Positive Behaviour Support.

You do not need to have your whole career mapped out before getting in touch. If you are interested in behaviour support and want to understand whether Community Solutions is the right fit, we would love to hear from you.

What your work could look like

As a Behaviour Support Practitioner, you may:

  • conduct functional behaviour assessments
  • develop Positive Behaviour Support plans
  • work with participants, families, carers and support teams
  • identify triggers and practical support strategies
  • coach support teams to use strategies consistently
  • support communication, emotional regulation and daily living skills
  • help reduce restrictive practices safely and ethically
  • advocate for people with disability and their right to choice, safety and independence

Your week may include a mix of office-based planning, participant visits, team collaboration, documentation and real-life support in community settings.

No two days are the same, but you will not be expected to figure everything out alone.

Important work, with the right support around you

Positive Behaviour Support is rewarding work, but it can also be complex.

You may support people through challenging situations and need to think critically, adapt your approach and problem-solve in real time.

At Community Solutions, you are not expected to manage this alone. You will have access to supervision, clinical guidance, peer support and a team culture that helps you keep learning and growing.

This is the difference between doing challenging work in isolation and doing it with the right team around you.

Build a career that grows with you

Whether you are early in your behaviour support career or bringing existing experience, we will support you to keep developing your skills, confidence and capability.
