Hey you!

We’re on the lookout for a proactive and people-focused Vacancy & Engagement Coordinator to help connect people with disability to the right housing and support options across our services.

In this role, you’ll be at the heart of our accommodation pathway, managing vacancies across Supported Independent Living (SIL), Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA), and other housing options.

• Strong knowledge of SIL, SDA and NDIS funding pathways
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities
