Community Connectors are at the heart of the PLAN team. They work directly with people who have disabilities and their families and networks in their neighbourhoods and community. While each individual work plan is unique, there are 5 key elements to what we do. PLAN works to ensure that all people can have:
Friends and Relationships
Contribution and Citizenship
Empowered Decision Making
A Place to Call Home
Financial Security
As a Community Connector you work with a person to build and nurture their Personal Support Network in a way that ensures that they can be active and engaged in each other’s lives, and provide practical support as needed. This is a social and relational role and requires skills and experience in planning and facilitation as you collaborate with people to define their goals and priorities and coordinate support from their network.
