- Support grant programs and funded projects to deliver community benefit as part of the flagship South Sudanese Australian Youth Justice Expert Working Group
- Attractive salary between $91,418 - $103,725 + superannuation
About us
The Department of Justice and Community Safety is responsible for the statutory supervision of young people in the criminal justice system.
The South Sudanese Australian Youth Justice Expert Working Group (Expert Working Group) has been established to identify the reasons for, and potential solutions to, the overrepresentation of South Sudanese Australian in the youth justice system. The Expert Working Group is a partnership project between the Department of Justice and Community Safety (DJCS) and the Commission for Children and Young People (CCYP).
The Expert Working Group forms part of the roadmap set out in the Youth Justice Strategic Plan 2020-2030 (Strategic Plan) for reform of the Youth Justice system, with a specific focus on supporting culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) groups in Youth Justice. The initiatives in the Strategic Plan aim to prevent children and young people from entering the youth justice system and help address the underlying drivers of offending of those already in the system.
What does the Grant Program and Project Officer do?
As the Grant Program and Project Officer, you will focus on supporting the South Sudanese Australian community service sector through the design and delivery of the grant program. You will work closely with community organisations, other government departments, the Community Crime Prevention Unit and other DJCS business units to align funded activities with program objectives and best practices and maximise the grant's benefit.
You will adopt a continuous improvement approach in designing, implementing, and assessing grant-related processes and programs and ensure the team's work aligns with best practice, departmental policies, and objectives of the Expert Working Group. You will be flexible and adaptable to help meet the needs of the South Sudanese Australian community organisations to grow an effective South Sudanese Australian community services sector.
What skills should a Grant Program and Project Officer have?
- experience in managing grants, projects and/or programs to deliver government policy objectives
- understanding of relevant community agencies and services for young people of CALD background involved with youth justice including those of South Sudanese Australian and African Australian heritage
- ability to communicate sensitively and effectively with a broad cross-section of cultures and faith diverse communities.
Experience in government or philanthropic grant administration and/or a tertiary qualification in public policy, social science, community development, project management, law or related discipline is also desirable.
To learn more about the type of skills you will need to thrive in this role, please read the position description.
What's in it for you?
You will be working for the Department of Justice and Community Safety, which is one arm of the Victorian State Government, a recognised top employer of choice nationally. All our staff work to the vision of a safe, just, innovative and thriving Victoria.
There are many advantages in working for the department, including:
