Plus Clinical supervision
Under the NDIS Positive Behaviour Support Capability Framework, practitioners are required to engage in clinical supervision and ongoing professional development.
Plus Clinical Manager Sam Gaynor (Advanced level behaviour support practitioner) provides supervision to those within and external to Plus Clinical and Fighting Chance, and has capacity now to see new supervisees.
What is clinical supervision?
Clinical supervision is a structured process where behaviour support practitioners receive guidance, support, and oversight from more experienced practitioners working within the NDIS behaviour support space. This supervisory relationship aims to enhance a behaviour support practitioner’s clinical skills, ensuring the delivery of high-quality support, whilst promoting professional growth and ethical practice.
Clinical supervision also serves as a platform for reflective practice, helping practitioners to critically analyse their work, improve decision-making, and maintain professional standards. This process is essential for fostering competence, confidence, and resilience among practitioners, ultimately contributing to better client outcomes and professional satisfaction.
What services do we provide?
In addition to ongoing, individual supervision according to the outcomes above, Sam can also deliver ‘business supervision’ for small organisations providing behaviour support services, aimed at enhancing practitioner quality, participant outcomes and ensuring practice standards are being adhered to under the NDIS (Restrictive Practices and Behaviour Support) Rules 2018.
These can be conducted in person (Sydney to Newcastle) or via Telehealth.
Sam is an accredited member of the Australian Association of Social Work (AASW) and can provide ongoing supervision under this framework.
How are we different?
Sam has worked in the human services sector for 20 years in an array of roles including child protection, forensic, disability and implementing provider roles.
He has a distinct ability to apply theory to practice, ensuring that Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is applied to the highest standard by a practitioner under his supervision. Sam believes in pursuing excellence in the field of PBS, guiding practitioners to exceed practice standards so that participants have a higher chance of success. He is committed to improving the quality of work delivered by practitioners in the disability sector.
