An exciting opportunity has arisen within our new Logan team & office, as an Aboriginal Skills Coach working with an exceptionally motivated team of professionals implementing Treatment Foster Care of Oregon (TFCO), a highly acclaimed, evidence-based intervention.


This deadly role is a unique opportunity where we embrace your guidance and cultural support as a skills coach / mentor to make a difference in community.


Treatment Foster Care Oregon for Children (TFCO) is an evidence-based treatment program that supports and treats young people and children with serious emotional and/or behavioural difficulties including aggression, poor school engagement, poor peer relationships, poor coping and social skills, low self-esteem and difficulties with self-regulation and are at risk of entering into residential care or it can be a way for children to transition from residential care into more appropriate home-based care arrangements i.e.

foster care, kinship care or home with parents.

TFCO-C provides support and treatment for children aged 7 to 11 years of age.


The TFCO programs provide high level of support and intervention in a home like setting through the care of an accredited foster carer.


The TFCO model includes several components such as:

training and support for the foster carer/s, family therapy for the young person's parent/aftercare placement; skills training for the young person; education support and case management and consultation.


An individualized treatment plan is developed for each young person in the program with goals that focus on improving the young person's emotional and behavioural functioning; promoting positive educational outcomes; and building strong family relationships.

A young person's goals are met through close supervision, fair and consistent limits, predictable consequences, and supportive relationships with mentoring adults.

As Aboriginal Skills Coach TFCO, you will report to a TFCO Program Supervisor and in this position:

  • Provide weekly skills coaching to the TFCO child/young person. Skills coaching areas of focus are directly related to the goals of the child/young person's treatment plan and may include strategic modelling, skill practice, and positive reinforcement in sessions. Skills coaches will receive training and ongoing supervision to implement the treatment during sessions.
  • Document each skills coaching session in a timely fashion and submit them to the TFCO Program Supervisor.
  • Receive supervision from the TFCO Program Supervisor and attend weekly treatment team meetings.
