About Everyday Independence
With over 40 hubs across Australia, Everyday Independence is a dynamic allied health organisation committed to changing the game for people with disabilities. Working in the social model, our united team of talented change-makers is on a mission to make inclusion possible for all Australians.

About The Role
We are looking for Key Workers to deliver interventions to NDIS participants (specifically children aged 0-8) and their families that lead to positive, life-changing outcomes.

Availability and commitment to support before/after school appointments is essential, as this is the most highly requested time for Key Workers to provide therapy to their participants.

As a Key Worker at Everyday Independence, no two days will be the same. If you were here last week, these are some of the things you may have done:

  • Working in the social model means you’ll work and deliver therapy in diverse settings; from homes and schools to playgrounds, and community centres

  • Worked collaboratively with a kinder teacher at a preschool to support a child to develop their motor skills
  • Coached parents through finding a school that best suits their young child’s needs
  • Worked collaboratively with a Speech Pathologist and family members to support a child to develop their communication and social skills
  • Built meaningful relationships with the participants and their supports (family, carers, friends)
  • Documented, and billed for, each session through our online participant management system
  • Provided support for a 5-year-old after school so that they can establish consistent routines
  • Attended the weekly team meeting in the Hub; sharing stories of impact, coffee and laughs
  • You’ll have met with your Team Leader and Therapy Mentor to tap into their clinical knowledge and/or support
  • Dropped into an online mentoring session to build knowledge of using Assistive Technology with a participant and some tips to introduce some behavioral support strategies

Who We Are Looking For
At Everyday Independence, our team thrives on shared values and a collaborative spirit. We're on the lookout for individuals who resonate with our values and can seamlessly integrate into our dynamic environment.

  • If you are an Educator, you will have a Bachelor or Master's degree in Early Childhood Teaching or Special Education
  • If you are a Social Worker, you will have a Bachelor or Master's degree in Social Work and eligible for AASW membership

You will also need:

  • Minimum 12 months experience working with children (aged 0-8) and their families
  • Demonstrated experience working with children with disability
