We are Hiring!

𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐑𝐨𝐥𝐞 – 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐫 / 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝 (𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭)
Karalee / Ipswich Area, QLD | Female Only Role | Employment Position | Leadership + Direct Support | 2:1 Support Environment

𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐥𝐞
This is a unique leadership opportunity within a family-designed, values-driven disability support model supporting a thoughtful and insightful young woman living with unique and complex support needs.

The role combines hands-on support with service leadership. You will work closely alongside the participant in daily life while also coordinating and strengthening the support team around her.

This position is ideal for someone who wants to move beyond traditional disability support work into a practice leadership role, helping design and guide a service that is deeply personalised, respectful, and collaborative.

You will work approximately 20–25 hours per week providing direct 2:1 support, alongside 6–8 hours per week of non-facing leadership responsibilities that ensure the service runs smoothly and remains aligned with the participant’s goals and values.

The young woman you will support is curious, reflective, and deeply engaged with ideas about the world. She enjoys exploring philosophy, psychology, neuroscience and social justice, and values meaningful conversation and authentic connection. Some days may include engaging with interesting content, connecting with friends, or exploring ideas together. Other days may require a quieter presence and support with routine needs.

Success in this role requires someone who can combine practical capability, emotional intelligence, and calm leadership.

Support is meant to make life feel clearer, safer, and more manageable. 🌱

Taking time to pause, reflect, and ask “Is this still working?” is part of good support. When something feels misaligned, it’s okay to reassess, adjust, and advocate for change.

Care should grow with people, not complicate their lives.

Happy International Women’s Day! 🌸

And as we celebrate throughout the month of March, we honour the women who continue to shape a more inclusive and compassionate world.

Behind every inclusive policy, every accessible space, and every community that chooses compassion — there are women who dared to lead.

Women like our CEO, Monique van Zelm Felix, whose neuroaffirming leadership and nearly two decades of social work experience empower families and individuals with disability through strengths-based, community-centred support.

Women like Dr. Rhonda Galbally, a pioneer of disability reform and a key architect behind Australia’s National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), who united communities and policymakers to drive systemic change.

Women like Maryanne Diamond, a global accessibility champion whose advocacy helped drive the Marrakesh Treaty, expanding access to books and information for blind and low-vision communities worldwide.

Women like Leah van Poppel, a leader in disability rights and gender equity who strengthened national advocacy networks and helped shape disability policy through sector leadership and governance.

Women like Karin Swift, who represented women with disabilities at the United Nations, ensuring their voices influence both global and national policy conversations.

Women like Elly Desmarchelier, a powerful young advocate championing NDIS access, inclusion, and representation for young people with disabilities.

Today and throughout this month, we celebrate and appreciate all the women who surround us — in our workplaces, our communities, and our lives.

Because we are not just women.
We are advocates, allies, leaders — and the force behind lasting change.

Behaviour doesn’t exist in isolation — it’s shaped by environment, relationships, access, and experience.

A social work lens helps us slow down, look wider, and understand what’s happening around a person, not just what’s happening within them. When we see the whole picture, support becomes more compassionate, responsive, and effective.

Behind every plan and every outcome is a team working together.

Our multidisciplinary approach brings different skills, perspectives, and roles into one shared way of working. By aligning practice across disciplines, we create support that is consistent, thoughtful, and grounded in neuroaffirming values.

Different expertise. Shared purpose.

When families hold the vision, support stays grounded in what matters most.

Family-governed models honour lived experience, shared decision-making, and long-term sustainability. When paid teams work alongside families with respect and transparency, trust grows and support becomes clearer, more consistent, and more meaningful.

This is partnership in practice.

Strong support is built together.

When services, clinicians, educators, and community organisations work in partnership, people experience care that’s more connected, responsive, and grounded in real life. Collaboration allows us to draw on shared knowledge, local expertise, and collective strengths.

Because meaningful support doesn’t happen in isolation.

When support is connected, people feel the difference.

By aligning therapy, coordination, and everyday supports, we reduce fragmentation and create clearer, more consistent pathways toward meaningful goals. Collaboration across services isn’t just efficient — it leads to better experiences and stronger outcomes.

Behind every moment of progress is a team that shows up with patience, curiosity, and genuine care.

Our therapy and support staff bring professionalism, compassion, and thoughtfulness into homes, communities, and everyday practice — building trust, connection, and meaningful outcomes along the way.

We’re deeply proud of the people who make this work possible.

Burnout isn’t about individual weakness — it’s often a sign that support systems around staff need strengthening.

At Our Future Focus, we prioritise supervision, reflective practice, and realistic expectations so our support workers feel supported, valued, and able to do their work sustainably.

Because when we look after our staff, they’re better able to look after the people they support.

Disability inclusion is a lifelong commitment.

It’s reflected in everyday choices — the language we use, the environments we create, the attitudes we hold, and the systems we design.

Real inclusion is practiced consistently, intentionally, and with accountability.

Good support is built on relationships — trust, communication, and shared understanding.

When support workers are well-guided, well-supported, and responsive to individual choice, everyday moments become opportunities for confidence, connection, and growth.

This is what quality support looks like in practice.
