Where you come in:

In these maximum term positions (through to June 2024) based in Melbourne, Adelaide or Darwin, you’ll work as part of the 24/7 national 1800RESPECT telephone counselling service, providing specialised trauma counselling services to those whose lives have been impacted by domestic and family, sexual assault, and/or workplace sexual harassment.

With the flexibility to work from home for most of the week, or in the office if preferred, you’ll report to a Team Leader. Hours for these roles are also flexible – we’re open to full time and part time depending on your preference (minimum 6 shifts per fortnight).

Shifts are negotiated across a 24/7 roster, based on the requirements of a national roster which is structured around demand for support, your preferences, and the preferences of other Counsellors.

You will make an impact by:

  • Providing short term specialist therapeutic counselling support, psycho education, and referrals
  • Establishing caller safety, building rapport and identifying best pathways for support
  • Working within a new national framework based on knowledge of best practice principles
  • At times, supporting the First Responder teams by answering calls and chats as required and providing information, referral and other support.

Does this sound like you?

You’re a passionate, qualified counsellor or social worker, with high levels of resilience and excellent self-care practices in place. You love the flexibility of working from home or the office, you have sound knowledge of best practices in domestic, family and sexual violence, and you thrive in a fast-paced, complex and often high pressure environment. Your strong interpersonal and communication skills help you develop and maintain effective working relationships at all levels, and you’re committed to socially and culturally inclusive practices.

This role requires:

  • A tertiary qualification (of minimum 3 years duration) in Social Work, Psychology, Counselling, or relevant field
  • Minimum 3 years counselling or case management experience, preferably including support for people impacted by DFV and SA (telephone counselling advantageous)
  • Eligible for professional membership of ACA, PACFA, AASW or AHPRA
  • Understanding of federal and state-based legislation including child protection legislation relevant to service delivery
  • Strong IT skills to work across online phone systems
  • Willingness to work shift-work on a 24/7 roster, including overnight (at least once per fortnight) and on weekends.
