We currently have 1 maximum term vacancy that will run to July 2023, with potential for extension beyond those dates. The role will be part-time (three days per week), with preferences for working days being Monday, Thursday and Friday; but this can be negotiated with the right applicant.

In this opportunity, you’ll work within a team to provide case management and safety planning support to women and children who are escaping or experiencing domestic violence, within the refuge accommodation program.

  • Conducting thorough risk and needs assessments, within a trauma informed case management framework;
  • Working with families to source appropriate, safe and sustainable accommodation free from violence and/or connecting families with services to meet their needs.

Does this sound like you?

You’re an experienced domestic and family violence practitioner with high levels of initiative and flexibility alongside cultural sensitivity and knowledge. You’re able to respond calmly and effectively in crisis and complex situations. Importantly, you possess a thorough understanding of the impact of domestic violence on women and children and are able to apply that within a trauma-informed practice framework.

This role requires:

  • A Bachelor/Diploma of Social Work, Psychology or relevant Human Service Qualification and/or significant experience in a similar service;
  • Knowledge and understanding of domestic and family violence, including the impact on children;
  • Experience working with families from diverse cultural backgrounds;
