Windermere aims to assist people with a disability to identify support that really matters most to them. As a registered service provider under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and with more than 20 years’ experience in providing services to Victorians living with disability or developmental delays, we understand the NDIS and how it may impact our consumers.

About the opportunity:

Due to increased consumer demand, we are seeking a Support Coordinator to join a skilled and dedicated team who are committed to providing high quality services and go above and beyond for our consumers to coordinate and implement the support they need.

In this full-time/ part-time permanent consumer-facing role, you will collaborate with individuals and families living with disability to strengthen their capacity and build resilience to be able to fully participate in the community.

More specifically you will connect consumers with service providers to help them access new services, and provide coaching and guidance to develop a plan and work towards their set goals.
