About Facilitatrix

Facilitatrix is a well-established Western Australian disability organisation providing specialist services to people with disability, their families and support networks. We work with individuals whose lives and support environments can be complex. As a result, we value practitioners who can look beyond behaviour in isolation and understand the person within the context of their relationships, communication, environment, health, culture, history and support systems. We also recognise that good practitioners need good environments themselves. Our model supports flexible working from home, practitioner autonomy, accessible leadership, collaboration and ongoing professional development. We want our team to have the space to do excellent work, while remaining connected to colleagues who can offer support when needed.

A genuine WFH model

Our practitioners work primarily from home while balancing participant visits, stakeholder meetings and regular opportunities to connect with colleagues. You will have flexibility in how you structure your week while remaining part of a collaborative and supportive team.
