The Opportunity


This is an exciting opportunity to join an innovative team of creative thinkers who are driven to create system change within the Out of Home Care sector.

This dynamic team are looking for passionate, self motivated and fun individuals who share the same team values of collaboration, accountability and creativeness.

Berry Street recently conducted a strategic review of its Residential Care Program. This has resulted in range of projects designed to improve carers and young people's day-to-day experiences. One key project is to implement a Teaching Family Model informed practice framework across all residential homes.

The Teaching Family Model (TFM) is an evidence-based model of care which is focused on teaching pro social skills and self determination to young people.

We believe residential carers are a key agent to improving outcomes for our young people.

The practice framework will support in upskilling our residential carers as well as provide consistent trauma informed approach for our young people.


To begin this important and unique work, our Practice Leaders will be responsible for supporting the implementation of the practice framework across the Berry Street regions.

The role will focus on training, coaching and providing consultation to House Supervisors as well as delivering training to all our residential carers.

These roles sit within the established Teaching Family Model Leadership team.

Key Responsibilities

  • Implement the Practice Framework into Residential Care across Berry Street
  • Provide initial and ongoing training to all Residential carers
  • Provide ongoing practice support through coaching and mentoring to House Supervisors across multiple regions to support the implementation of the practice framework
  • Manage Program data collection

About you
We are seeking self-driving individuals with a demonstrated desire to create systemic and cultural change in the OoHC system. You will have sound experience working with young people who live with the impacts of trauma and neglect.

You will inherently inspire those who care for our young people through a thoughtful and proactive approach to leadership and coaching.

Being self-motivated and driven will come easily to you as well as having a keen sense of professional development.


Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait islander peoples; people from culturally and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds and people with a disability are highly encouraged to apply.


About Us


For over 140 years, Berry Street has adapted to a changing world, and we will continue to adapt to achieve our purpose.

We believe children, young people and families should be safe, thriving and hopeful.

Our Vision for 2026:
Together we will courageously change lives and reimagine service systems.

We look forward to working with our staff, carers, partners, supporters and government, to ensure children, young people and their families can create the future they imagine for themselves.
