Lead support that changes lives.

At Magenta, we keep our people at the heart of all we do — that includes the people we support and the people who make it possible.

We're seeking a compassionate and highly capable Support Specialist to join our team and lead the coordination and quality of day-to-day supports for NDIS participants with low to moderate support needs.

This is an ideal role for someone who blends operational leadership with deep care for person-centred practice, quality documentation, and NDIS compliance.

About the Role

As a Support Specialist, you'll be responsible for ensuring services are delivered in line with participant goals, support plans, and NDIS Practice Standards.

Your key responsibilities will include:

• Delivering proactive case management and care coordination.
• Overseeing quality documentation and compliance, including restrictive practice reporting.
• Leading internal responses to high-risk incidents and investigations.
• Monitoring participant progress, risk, and support needs.
• Coaching and supervising frontline staff providing day-to-day support.
• Liaising with families, guardians, clinicians, and NDIS stakeholders to ensure consistent, high-quality service delivery.

This is a fast-paced and rewarding leadership role within a values-driven organisation.

You’ll Bring

• Minimum 3 years’ experience in a similar role supporting people with complex needs, disability, or mental health challenges
• Demonstrated leadership and staff supervision experience in the disability or community services sector
• Proven ability to problem-solve, assess risk, and remain calm and adaptive in high-pressure or crisis situations
• Comprehensive knowledge of NDIS Practice Standards, incident management, and restrictive practice obligations
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, including professional report writing and stakeholder engagement
• Strong skills in care planning, documentation, and compliance systems
• Current NDIS Worker Screening Check
• Valid Working with Children Check (NSW)
• Evidence of COVID-19 vaccination
• National Police Check (issued within the last 12 months)

Desirable

• Cert IV or Diploma in Disability, Community Services, or a related field.
• Experience conducting internal investigations or quality audits.
• Previous supervisory or leadership experience within a disability support setting.
