Detail information about job Early Intervention Worker - Connect Up Program. Terms and conditions vacancy
The Connect Up Early Intervention Worker provides an early intervention response that aims to invest in individual and community strengths and intervene earlier to provide a range of community based programs to reduce disadvantage, create social change and improve outcomes for vulnerable or disadvantaged families.
Position Objectives
The Connect Up Program offers services to families in the Northern suburbs of Geelong and has a primary focus on children aged 0-12 years. This place based model is designed to engage with a range of universal platforms in the community including kindergartens, schools, community centres and child and community hubs providing an integration of services and seamless transitions for families.
The program aims to build stronger relationships between parents/carers and their children by recognising the fundamental role parents/carers play towards the wellbeing of their children. The Program facilitates meaningful opportunities to increase parent/carer involvement in their child’s early years and school life and builds connectedness for the child and family within their community, including building strong connections with universal services within their community.
The program consists of a common worker/team across platforms which promotes the building of networks and relationships with families and universal services staff and builds capacity for services to engage collaboratively.
The program is aligned to the DHHS Roadmap to Reform agenda, integrating early help services within universal platforms to support vulnerable families from high risk communities in Geelong, building resilience, social networks and opportunity for families.
