Supporting clients to engage with programs designed to address their abusive behaviours by developing an understanding of their use of violence and adopting strategies to decrease violence and increase safety.

Please see position description for further information on the roles expectations and requirements.

**Your Skills and Experience**

The specialised level of this role will require the ability to be able to reflect and analyse complex situations arising in specialist family violence casework and the commitment to working collaboratively with the capacity to negotiate and liaise with other agencies and the community.

Experience within and an understanding of the Family Violence service sector and the Central Highlands regional service system, and an understanding of the Child, Youth and Families Act 2007 and the Family Violence Protection Act 2008.
