NDIS Launch Transition Agency seeking expressions of interest about a range of jobs

Extract from National Disability Insurance Scheme Update 22:

From July next year we will launch the first stage of a National Disability Insurance Scheme. The first stage will benefit around 20,000 people with disability in the Hunter in NSW, the Barwon area of Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania, and the ACT.

The NDIS Launch Transition Agency is seeking people with the experience of living with disability to help deliver an NDIS.

We would like to encourage people with disability, as well as people who have worked with or supported people with disability, to submit an expression of interest to work for the Launch Transition Agency in one of the NDIS launch sites.

There will be a variety of employment opportunities at the Agency, including for management, leadership and finance roles, local area coordinators and customer service officers.

The Agency is also seeking people who have allied health qualifications who can help people with disability plan for their current and future needs.

These positions will be available across all five launch locations and are expected to commence from early to mid-2013, with a small number starting in the coming weeks or months.

We want to gauge people’s interest in working in the Agency from the outset, which is why we’re calling for expressions of interest well in advance of the launch of the scheme.

• Much more detail about the positions, and links to the Expressions of Interest forms are available on the NDIS website, here.
