We believe everyone should have a good childhood, growing up in families and communities where they feel safe, nurtured and have hope for the future.

The successful candidate will provide day-to-day coordination and support to a small team of skilled family violence workers who collectively will provide response functions to clients requiring direct assistance, including implementing RAMP actions, responding to women and children in crisis accommodation and facilitating safety responses as detailed in the Personal Safety Initiative guidelines.
This role will ensure the integration of this suite of responses with the broader family violence team as well as linking with external services as required.
About you:
- We are seeking someone with a strong understanding of the complexity of family violence and various service systems that clients interface with and the advocacy required in these systems.
- Have a tertiary qualification in social work, psychology, welfare or a related discipline
- A solid understanding of relevant legislation including Family Violence Protection Act 2008 and the Child, Youth and Families Act 2007.
- Great team player with a positive attitude
