Your Circle of Support facilitator will spend regular time with you each fortnight. In this time they will get to know you and what's important to you.
They will learn about the people in your life, and will help you to identify good trusted people to invite in to be part of your Circle of Support.
Your facilitator will help you to document your vision for your life - what's important to you, what you like doing, what you want to do more of, and what your hopes and dreams are. The circle will use this as a guide on how they can be more involved and support you to live the life that you want now and into the future.
The facilitator will reach out to your circle members and coordinate bringing everyone together for regular gatherings, about every 6 weeks.
You might host the gathering in your home, a circle member's home, or out at a local cafe or park. There is usually a meal or food shared.
At the gatherings, you will have a chance to talk about things that are important to you. Maybe you have an event or decision coming up that you would like to talk to your Circle of Support about.
After each gathering, your facilitator will work with you to put together circle notes, a record of who was there, what was discussed, and anything that people said they would do. The facilitator will follow up with people to keep their commitments.
A key piece of work for Circle facilitators is find common interests and opportunities for you to catch up with your Circle members between gatherings. Perhaps there is a show you would like to see, a sport that you love to watch? Up until now you might have missed out, or gone with paid support. Wouldn't it be better to go with a friend? Your facilitator will find out if someone in your Circle might like to go with you, and will do the work to make it happen.
The facilitator will partner with your Circle of Support members so that they can learn more about how to support you as a friend and ally. Circle members will be invited to attend workshops and training sessions together with you. We find that having two more more people sit together creates the ideas and energy that can be taken back to the circle to make things happen.
In this video created by Community Resource Unit (CRU), Circle facilitators talk about the role and what they have learned about facilitating circles effectively. The video is 10 minutes long
The Circle of Support is made up of people who you decide you would like to invite in. The facilitator will help you think about who to invite.
Circle members might be your aunts, uncles or cousins, neighbours or former teachers. Sometimes there are people at sporting clubs, churches and community groups who stand out from the rest, and are already showing they are interested in what's happening in your life.
Your parents and siblings can be part of the Circle of Support, but it's up to each person and their family to decide what's right for them.
In this video by Community Resource Unit Ltc (CRU), Circle Members reflect on what it means for them to be invited, included and involved in a Circle of Support.

Families usually have values and expectations that guide the decisions they make about raising and supporting their loved ones. They might not have ever called it a vision or written it down.
At CLP, we talk to the person and their families about the importance of holding a vision and the power of sharing the vision with others.
A person's vision for their life should include all life domains - the person's finances, health, wellbeing, spiritual fulfilment, work, community, home, and relationships.
This video about Hannah's community connections starts with the vision that Hannah's parents set for her from the very start.

When engaged with Community Living Services the person with disability, and their family, partner with a Community Living facilitator to design and develop support services that will assist you to reach your life goals. Together you will consider the required roles and the qualities, skills and attributes you are looking for in workers.
The facilitator partners with the person and family to review the applications and decide who and how to interview and make the decision about who is the best match.
The Community Living facilitator continues to partner with the person and their key-loved ones to self-direct their support staff. The person and their key loved ones take the lead on how their supports are delivered.
The facilitator supports the person and their family to supervise and direct workers to ensure that services are delivered intentionally and purposefully in line with the person's goals.
The facilitator coordinates services and health care plans, worker training and certification requirements.
The facilitator partners with the person seeking support workers to review the applications and conduct interviews.
It’s always the person, with their family, who makes the final decision about who will work with them.
The person is supported to call the worker and offer them the role. This sets the tone from the beginning that it's the person and their family who will be directing the supports.
The Community Living Facilitator continues their role in the background. They support the person and their family with building their capacity and confidence to direct their team.
The idea of having your own small team of workers might raise questions about covering shifts and situations where workers have planned or unexpected leave.
Your Community Living facilitator will take this into consideration when scoping roles and a roster and recruiting workers for your team. They will plan ahead to have flexibility in your team or external resources to provide back up if needed.
In an unexpected situation, your Community Living facilitator will check in with you and your family how to ensure you have the supports you need - this could include support from family and friends or possibly support services from another agency.
With the right supports in place, a person can flourish and thrive in their own home.
Home is an expression of our identities, our talents and our interests. It's a place where we can be ourselves and feel safe, and bring our family and friends in to share time with us.
At CLP we believe that the role of the home maker - taking care of your home, having people visit and hosting them in your home is one of the most valued roles we can have.
Learn more about ways that people with disabilities have moved out of their family home or a group home at My Home, My Way, a website full of useful resources and videos, stories and podcasts.
Here's an example from My Home My Way, showing how Cameron started testing out what living out of home might look like.
CLP is guided by an approach that recognises the authority that a person's family members and key loved ones hold, and we encourage and support families to act on their power.
For starters, the family knows the person most deeply, with a lifetime of insight. Take for example the person's communication style and how best to support them with decision making. Anyone working in a paid role will learn about the person not only from them directly, but also from their family.
Families have a deeply personal stake in whether a service and experience is positive for the person.
For families embarking on making changes for their loved one, perhaps moving out of a group home or supported employment, it can take years of effort and coming up against barriers. We know that families can and do drive this change because they care are committed to holding the vision and setting the expectations for a good life.
Families bring their own fields of expertise, and contribute in a way that can complement and guide paid supports. Families are often best positioned to see how everything, in its entirety, adds up in a person’s life. They have insight into how different supports and services operate and interact with their loved one and can provide valuable input.
Dr Michael Kendrick has written widely on the natural authority of families. In this 6 Minute video recorded by Community Resource Unit, he discusses the topic.
"If we start with filling time, all we get is activities.
If we start with filling roles time takes care of itself!" Linda Shevellar
Watch the first few minutes of this video to hear Jack introduce himself and describe his valued roles and get a sense of how they shape a meaningful week for Jack. If you have time, watch the full presentation to hear how Jack’s family were guided by valued roles as they planned and supported their son into his first work role.
Neighbour is a role we all hold by default. We can elevate neighbour to a valued role. A good neighbour might -
A good neighbour makes a contribution to others. Then what might happen?
People get to know the good neighbour – know their name, know a bit about their routines and things they like to do. They might reach out to the neighbour when they have spare tickets to the footy, or to see if they need something picked up from the shops.
People value a good neighbour for their contribution. They might have previously made assumptions about the neighbour’s capacity, and now they know better. They might knock on the neighbour’s door and ask them to help with shifting furniture or other jobs needing extra hands. If they notice their neighbour hasn’t been out and about in their usual routine, they might check in and see if they are okay.
There are more roles we hold by default that can be expanded. Take for example family roles - what does a good cousin look like? Baking a birthday cake, collecting family history? Inviting to watch a favourite movie together? What could building on that valued role and connection lead to?
You might notice that when CLP advertise for support worker roles, there’s often a call for the applicant to have particular interests and skills – vintage cars, sewing, fishing, singing etc. This is because we recruit with valued roles in mind. We want to help the person to use their interests as a starting point to a valued role and connection.
For example – if someone likes drawing or painting, how could they move into the role of an artist? What do artists wear? What equipment do they use? Where can they meet up and connect with other artists?
We always strive for roles and settings that are typical for a person of that age and stage in life.
Once someone starts participating in a local club or group, we think about how they might start to take on valued roles that make a contribution and help the person to belong.
Watch the short video ‘no bias’ (6 minutes 30 seconds) and see the valued roles Michael has at his bowling club and how roles have led to connection.
Often people living with disabilities have been cast into negative roles – someone might be known as a burden, a client in every aspect of life, a child who will never grow up. As workers and allies, we bend over backwards to combat these perceptions. The best way we know to do this is to increase the person’s valued roles.
In this video Darcy Elks takes a deeper dive into the principles of valued social roles and how roles are pathways to full, meaningful, and inclusive lives. This video is 15 minutes long.
The principles of Valued Roles come from a theory called Social Role Valorisation (SRV), which was developed by Dr Wolf Wolfensberger. You can read more about SRV and valued roles at the Australian Social Roles Valorisation (ASRVA) website.

Being known and connected in our communities gives us a sense of belonging and keeps us safe.
In this video you'll hear how Barry from the Ovingham Greening Group took care to welcome Angie in and be a bridge to connection in her local community.
"Being the bridge" means helping the person overcome the barriers keeping them from connecting. For example:
This could mean that as a friend or worker you:
Being the bridge will look different if you are in a paid or unpaid role. If you are in a paid role then your job is to be the bridge to other freely given relationships and not the relationship itself.
Even unpaid friends and family need to be mindful of potential new relationships and not get in the way of their growth.
Download the fillable How to Be the Bridge to Neighbourhood workbook to complete a personal profile, neighbourhood map and make a plan to build roles and connection.
The Inclusive Neighbourhoods, Neighbourhood Circles project took an in-depth look at this question.
The first Neighbourhood Circles report - Part 1, looked into what existing neighbourhood initiatives were working, and asked what was going on within those groups to create a sense of belonging, and how they might be replicated elsewhere.
A key finding was that people often didn't know what existed in their local neighbourhood. Programs that were most successful often had people working as 'linkers' or mentors, to connect with people who were vulnerable or isolated, and to welcome them in and support them when trying something new for the first time.
Report Part 1 Neighbourhood Circles (PDF 45 pages)
The second Neighbourhood Circles report - Part 2, looked at what it might take to address barriers to inclusion. The report built on the idea of linkers and mentors, with the 'being the bridge' concept.
Thinking about your role as the “bridge” to belonging means considering all the different possibilities and ways that you can support the vulnerable person to connect, build relationships, contribute their skills, gifts and talents, and generally build a life that is filled with meaning and purpose.

This video is a great example of a local community centre thinking carefully about how to welcome people in.

A Micro Enterprise Project consultant works with the person on a regular basis as they move through the 4 step process and settle into operating their enterprise.
In the first weeks and months, the Micro Enterprise consultant guides the person, and their support networks through the Discovery process. This step discovers the persons interests, talents, capabilities, strengths and available resources and starts considering the potential of a micro enterprise that is meaningful and purposeful for the person.
Following on from Discovery, the consultant guides the participant and their support networks on the journey of becoming successful enterprise owner through the next steps: Exploration, Launch (creation), and Operations (maintenance).
The person uses their individualised NDIS funding and is assisted to recruit a specific paid worker in the role of Enterprise PA (personal assistant)/ Recruiting a PA who has skills in the particular business focus is critical. The PA does not undertake any other home or community support. The PA works during the enterprise business hours assisting the owner with enterprise tasks. The Micro Enterprise Project consultant continues to work regularly with the person and their enterprise PA and Enterprise Management Group to support the ongoing operation and success of the enterprise.
This 6 minute video goes into detail of the 4 step process.

If you've had a good look at the current roles we have advertised, you will get a sense of how we recruit specifically for each person and tailored roles within their team. We don't have a pool of workers.
If there are no current roles that look like they are in your local area and match your skills and interests, you might like to reach out and contact us and leave your phone number so you can chat to a Community Living facilitator to tell them about yourself. You can call the office during business hours on (08) 8384 7866 or email info@clp-sa.org.au.
Also keep an eye on our current vacancies here on our website, on Employment Hero or on our Employment Opportunities facilitated by Community Living Project Facebook page.
We aim to match workers with the right skills and interests and availability to the person requiring support. In most situations there is a consistent roster and well identified worker roles.
It is important to understand that Community Living Services work to towards the ideal situation of a worker only working with one person at a time - it is unusual for a worker to work across multiple people. Many workers take on these roles alongside other employment in their fields of interest.
If you have seen a role that you think will be a good fit for you we encourage you to apply and discuss your personal situation with the Community Living Facilitator.
Workers are chosen when they have the interests, skills and personal values that best match a person’s needs to help them achieve their goals.
Experience and qualifications in disability support are usually not required.
We list what we are looking for in the description for each role. This will be particular to the needs of the person. We may ask for clearances and certification for particular support like manual handling and managing medications, but these are not usually required before applying for a role.
The roles we advertise have been thoroughly planned out to provide stability for you as the worker as well as for the person being supported.
The roster is predictable and allows you to balance your other commitments and interests.
Our Community Living Facilitators work on a long term plan, and recruit workers with interests, skills and passions that contribute to the role and make the work enjoyable for you.
The structure of the roles and support from a Community Living Facilitators ensures that you build a strong rapport with the person and their family.
You will be involved in relevant training and development opportunities to build on your strengths and skills.
We're glad you noticed. It is important to avoid referring to individuals as “clients” or “participants” and instead use the term “person” to emphasize dignity, agency, and individuality. CLP support people. Too often, people with disabilities have been labelled as clients for every aspect of their life – a recipient of services rather than an active agent in their own growth, recovery, or decision-making.
If we are in a position where we are introducing the person to someone else, we would say "This is Raymond." If it is necessary to define our role, would we say "This is Raymond, I work with him".
If we were talking about the person and it wasn't appropriate to use their name, we might just say "The person I work with" or "the person I support".
CLP's Home and Living Advisor works with people to explore what a home of their own could look like.
We have worked with young people transitioning to adulthood and planning to move out of their family home, as well as with people who have spent many years in group home accommodation.
The advisor follows a process developed by the My Home, My Way initiative which was developed by Resourcing Inclusive Communities (Family Advocacy).
CLP does not provide any form of accommodation or housing.
We support people to find a home of their own, and to live independently, or to share with others who don't have disabilities.
CLP's Home and Living Advisor supports people and their families to explore options for renting or buying.
Community Living facilitators assist people to design and direct their own support team who will work with them in their homes and in the community.
With the right supports in place, a person can flourish and thrive in their own home.
Home is an expression of our identities, our talents and our interests. It's a place where we can be ourselves and feel safe, and bring our family and friends in to share time with us.
