Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia Save the Children Australia Full time

Every person has the right to live in safety, and yet domestic and family violence is a regular occurrence in Australia.

Help us do our part to change this reality in the Gold Coast.

Save the Children is one of the largest providers of DFV refuge services in Queensland - be part of this dynamic network of teams working together to deliver high quality support.

_

54 reasons is Australia's leading child rights organisation - no ordinary not-for-profit.


Proudly part of the Save the Children Australia Group and global movement, we're here to make sure that everyone understands their rights.

So that children and young people have their rights met and thrive, in all their diversity.

We champion the children, young people and families we work with.

We are inspired by the curiosity and creativity of children and motivated by the love of those who care for them.


With the child's voice at the centre, we provide quality services to children and their caregivers, advocating with them so that children develop, learn, and are connected, safe and confident.

Our people are proudly local, reflective of the communities we serve - in every state and territory, and across regions, remote areas and capital cities.


Where you come in:


In this part time, fixed term position (9 days per fortnight, through to end of June 2023, with strong potential for extension) based in Gold Coast, you'll work within a team to provide case management and safety planning support to women and children who are escaping or experiencing domestic violence, within the refuge accommodation program.

Working a 9-day fortnight in addition to some mínimal rostered on-call responsibilities, you'll be part of our Domestic and Family Violence team and report to the Team Leader.


You will make an impact by:

  • Facilitating the provision of safe accommodation to women and children escaping domestic and family violence
  • Conducting thorough risk and needs assessments, within a trauma informed case management framework
  • Working with families to source appropriate, safe and sustainable accommodation free from violence and/or connecting families with services to meet their needs

Does this sound like you?

This role requires:

  • A Bachelor of Social Work, Psychology or relevant Human Service Qualification and/or significant experience in a similar service
  • Knowledge and understanding of domestic and family violence, including the impact on children
  • Experience working with families from diverse cultural backgrounds
  • Strong teamwork and communication skills
  • Current drivers' licence

Working at 54 reasons is more than just a job.
We are a learning organisation that invests in the development and wellbeing of our people.

Our workforce is 680+ people strong, and proudly diverse, whether in race, ethnicity, gender, age, disability, sexuality, cultures and beliefs.


We are creative, connected and accountable, bringing energy, guts and ideas to all we do to champion children in Australia and partner with families, communities and partners to bring about change.


Our people work from both home and office, with important moments held in-person to foster belonging and support professional development.

Our leave provisions include personal, ceremonial and family violence leave as well as the ability to purchase additional leave. Remuneration is benchmarked and we offer full non-profit salary packaging benefits.

Other benefits include:

  • Award rate salary (SCHADS Level 4.1) plus full salary packaging benefits
  • Professional supervision training and monthly supervision sessions
  • Festive leave in addition to regular leave benefits
  • Health and wellbeing support, including EAP
  • Individual learning plans to assist in your career development
  • Internal employment and development opportunities
