ABOUT US

Ngaanyatjarra Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (NPY) Women's Council was founded and is still led, governed and directed by women from the NPY region. It was created to give a voice to women across 26 desert communities in the cross-border regions of Western Australia, South Australia and the Northern Territory. Today, we continue to provide progressive, innovative and evidence-based work in service delivery, advocacy and support.

At its core NPY Women's Council is about family and community – walytja. Our purpose is to work with women, children and their families of the Ngaanyatjarra, Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara region in central Australia. Our role is to work side by side and help increase their capacity to lead safe and healthy lives with improved life choices.

ABOUT THE TEAM

The NPY Women's Council (NPYWC) Youth Program works with children and young people aged 10-25 and their families. Our service model consists of the following: case management, leadership and education, youth diversion and recreation as well as advocacy and collaboration.
The main activities of the NPYWC Youth Program are to:
Work with young people and their communities to provide enjoyable, educational recreation activities.
Provide case management support to young people and their families using a family orientated client centred framework.
Advocate for better resourcing and support where there are gaps in services and programs for young people, advocate for social change.
Develop specialised projects to meet the needs of young people across the NPY region.
Develop local staff to deliver the programs.

ABOUT THE ROLE

This role will support young people of the NPY region to engage in employment and education. This will be done by working Malparara way with Anangu staff and other NPYWC teams, including the KP program, boarding school program and the Assistant Manager.
Working Malparara way is essential to the way we work at NPYWC. This role is critical in supporting this cultural way of working.
A primary focus of this position is supporting young people to attend the Iwara Program.
The employee will provide the highest standards of service to clients at all levels by modelling service excellence that meets the needs of clients and enhances the profile of NPYWC.

ABOUT YOU

You will have willingness to engage in leadership courses and youth work or other relevant training and development and engage in mentoring young people.

This is a unique chance to work for an organisation that takes a grassroots approach to community development. You will have the privilege of working closely alongside Anangu families and communities and get to experience an amazing landscape and part of the world. This is an extraordinary opportunity to learn about yourself, another culture and grow professionally at the same time.

You will receive a comprehensive orientation program as well as best practice supervision and professional development that includes vicarious trauma, case management and four-wheel drive training. We also provide critical incident debriefing and a range of counselling services to support you.
