Work Where Lived Experience Is Your Greatest Strength
At Waves, we aren't looking for clinicians who fit into a rigid box. We are looking for empathetic, passionate humans who want to do things differently.
Whether you are a practitioner, a therapist, or a parent who has spent years advocating for your own child, your lived experience isn't just welcomed here - it is valued as our greatest asset.
Redefining Work for Parents & Carers
If you are a parent or carer of a child with a disability, you know how hard it can be to balance a career with the unpredictable demands of daily life. Traditional workplaces often demand rigid hours that simply don't fit your reality.
At Waves, we offer a different way. We actively encourage parents and carers of children with disabilities to apply. We offer flexible, self-paced scheduling so you can do the work you love without compromising your family’s needs or burning yourself out. You bring the heart and insight; we provide the flexibility and support.
Diversity, Inclusion & Our Reasonable Adjustments Policy
We are committed to creating a culture where every team member feels safe, respected, and empowered to show up as their authentic self.
As a neuroaffirming organisation, we know that traditional recruitment and workplace standards can create unnecessary barriers. We hold a comprehensive Reasonable Adjustments Policy designed specifically to support neurodivergent team members and staff with disability or health conditions.
From day one—and throughout your time with us—we adapt your working environment, communication styles, and daily demands to suit your nervous system, not the other way around.
An Equitable, Barrier-Free Application Process
We want you to feel comfortable from your very first interaction with us:
Flexible Interviews: We offer adaptable interview options to suit your needs—whether that’s a casual chat over coffee, a video call, receiving interview questions in advance, or submitting answers via text/video.
Confidential Support: If you need accommodations, adjustments, or support at any stage of the application process, please reach out to us in confidence at admin@waveswa.com.au. We will work with you to ensure a safe, accessible, and barrier-free experience.
Who We Are Looking For
We Are Currently Hiring:
Positive Behaviour Support Practitioners (of all experience levels who align with our neuroaffirming, trauma-informed values).
We’d Always Love to Chat With:
Even if we don't have an immediate role open, we are always eager to connect with lived-experience professionals across allied health and disability support. If you work in any of the following fields, we’d love to hear from you:
Occupational Therapy
Speech Pathology
Support Work
Developmental Education
Psychosocial Recovery Coaching
If you're ready to leave behind rigid expectations, compliance-based approaches, and clinical distance, we'd love to meet you.
Send your CV, or an enquiry to admin@waveswa.com.au to start an informal conversation today.
PBS Supervision and PBS Practitioner Suitability Support
Due to high demand and our existing practitioners currently being at full capacity with participant caseloads, we are not taking on any 1:1 or group supervision clients at this time.
However, to support as many professionals as possible to confidently enter the Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) field, we have made our complete PBS Suitability Masterclass Video Series available on demand. We have purposefully kept the pricing low to ensure accessible, high-value professional development for up-and-coming practitioners. You can choose to purchase individual modules to target specific knowledge gaps or access the discounted bulk bundle covering the full step-by-step roadmap.
