The Bi-Cultural Worker will provide support to and work across both the Settle Well and Job Readiness programs.


Settle Well is a holistic, school-based program for young refugees and asylum seekers aged between 15 and 20 years old, at risk of disengagement from school and community life.

The program is co-located at two participating schools and uses a trauma-informed framework to offer case management, counselling, group work, career planning and social support to facilitate the transition to further education, training or sustainable employment

Job Readiness assists refugees and asylum seekers to prepare for and seek employment in Australia. This program will secure employment pathways through job readiness initiatives, employment placements and training pathways.

For refugees and asylum seekers there are multiple barriers to employment, including language difficulties, lack of recognition of prior qualifications and experiences, and low understanding of Australian workplace regulations, systems and culture.


Specifically, the position is responsible for:

  • Uses their cultural knowledge and or lived experience to negotiate and communicate between communities and their employing agencies; acting as a bridge, they facilitate mutual understanding of stakeholders' interests and needs.
  • They will consult and share information in relevant languages and in culturally appropriate ways.

To be considered for this position, applicants require:

  • Diploma in Community Services or other Welfare or related field is desirable, but not necessary
  • Strong communication skills in both written and spoken English. Fluency in other languages particularly Persian/Dari would be considered an advantage.
  • Previous experience working in the field of refugee and settlement, running groups, writing assessment reports and working as part of a team, working with volunteers.
  • As a condition of employment, CatholicCare Victoria as an employer will collect, record and store vaccination information on employees where required in line with the Privacy Act. All CatholicCare Victoria workers are to be fully vaccinated (boosted), unless they are an Excepted Person for medical reasons. All applicants must therefore be able to comply with this requirement. This means that successful applicants will be required to provide evidence of their vaccination status to CatholicCare Victoria prior to commencement of employment._
