This role is particularly suited to someone with a background in the disability and NDIS space as well as having a broad knowledge of the legislation surrounding NDIS. At DCLS we value Culture, Passion, and Work Ethic above all else. We seek a self-motivated, committed team member, passionate about making a long-term difference in disability advocacy.
Bonus points, if you have worked with the NDIS, and lived experience of disability, is also an advantage for this role. In joining, you will share our passion and culture and we will provide all necessary support and training.
