Disability Support - Support Leader

Lead from the front line. Shape the day-to-day for the participants and teams you support. Be the steady hand your sites rely on.

At LEAP Support Services Tasmania, our NDIS service means the world to our Participants which means our Team is at the core of everything we stand for. Founded in 2014 and grounded in a person-centred approach, LEAP has grown into one of the leading NDIS providers on Tasmania's North-West Coast - offering Supported Independent Living, Short and Medium-Term Accommodation, 1:1 community support, and Coordination of Supports.

Which brings us to you. We're after an experienced support worker who leads by doing, who's just as comfortable delivering exceptional care to participants while also leading a team of Support Workers who are responsible for keeping the lives and homes of our participants running smoothly. This isn't a role where you sit back and direct from a distance; it's hands-on, on-the-ground leadership where your presence and consistency genuinely shape the experience of every participant and Support Worker on your sites.

Requirements

About the role 
As Support Leader, you'll provide day-to-day support to participants along with on-site leadership to Support Workers, ensuring services are delivered safely, consistently, and in line with participant needs and plans.

Day to day, you will:

• Deliver hands-on, person-centred support to participants across your sites

• Provide leadership, and coaching to Support Workers across your allocated sites
