What positive behaviour support supervision looks like at Ignite Healthcare
As a PBS supervisor at Ignite Healthcare, you’ll carry your own caseload alongside your supervision responsibilities.
Your participants are people with behaviours of concern across a genuinely broad range of settings – at home, at school, and out in the community, wherever makes most sense for them.
Your supervisees, whether newer to community practice or more experienced PBS practitioners seeking ongoing support — will come to you with clinical questions, case discussions and professional growth conversations. The non-clinical day-to-day is handled by our business support team, allied health team manager and wider management, so your time together stays focused on what actually matters.
Your role is to improve quality of life and reduce risk of harm, and we’ll always aim to match your participants and supervisees to your skills and experience so your work reflects your strengths.
You’ll hold regular scheduled 1:1s with your supervisees, with your approach tailored to where each person is at. Office, café or online; you and your supervisee work that out together. And when impromptu clinical questions come up between sessions, you’re there for those too. Supervisee numbers are flexible, starting from one and growing based on what works for you.
You won’t be doing it alone either. You’ll have your own supervisor and our internal Clinical Excellence Lead there to support and guide you – there’s always someone genuinely in your corner.

Who we're looking for
Positive behaviour support supervisor jobs at Ignite Healthcare are for practitioners who find meaning in supporting and developing other clinicians, whether that’s something you’re already doing or a direction you’re genuinely drawn toward. We’re looking for NDIS registered PBS practitioners with relevant registration or credentialing, clinical experience working with people with behaviours of concern, and a genuine interest in community-based practice. A current driver’s license, Working With Children Check, NDIS Worker Screening Check and Police Check are required across all our roles.
But more than anything, we’re looking for people who are curious, honest and willing to give things a go. People who ask questions, reflect on their practice, and care deeply about the people they work with – supervisees and participants alike. You don’t need to have it all figured out. Just a genuine interest in learning, growing and doing the work thoughtfully. Experience matters, but attitude matters more.
