Kinship Engagement Worker
2 weeks ago
THE ROLE
Kinship care is provided by relatives or a member of child or young person's social network when a child cannot live with their parents.
In March 2018, a new model of kinship care was rolled out across Victoria.The model focuses on:
better and earlier identification of kinship carers; strengthening connections for Aboriginal children and young people with family, culture and community; providing increased, ongoing support for carers, children and young people; and a greater emphasis on assessing the needs of carers, children and young people.
The new kinship care model includes dedicated kinship practitioners employed by the department.There is additional investment to provide better support to placements from commencement and identifying the needs of carers, children and young people.
There is also additional support to Aboriginal agencies to strengthen supports to Aboriginal children and young people, including finding extended family, supporting carers and helping children and young people return to their parents where possible.
The Kinship Engagement Worker will play a pivotal role to implement the model of kinship care in Victoria.The Kinship Engagement Worker may undertake the initial search for a child or young person's extended family network, and promote placement quality and stability and support children and young people by being a key contact point for kinship carers and providing flexible kinship support.
Kinship Engagement Workers may also assist to embed the new model of kinship into operational practice. The Kinship Engagement Worker will report to the Kinship Engagement Coordinator.
The Kinship Engagement Coordinator and the Kinship Engagement Worker will work closely with Child Protection to support the case plan goals.
COVID-19 VACCINATIONThe department strongly recommends (but does not mandate) that employees maintain their COVID-19 vaccination status in accordance with current ATAGI (Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation) advice, given their individual circumstances.
