**Your role**

As an ISS (Intensive Support Services) Caseworker, you will provide effective intensive and specialist casework services to young people primarily working with adolescents in statutory out of home care who live with high and complex needs.

**What you’ll do**

Interventions are aimed at enhancing safety and wellbeing, placement stability and the development and implementation of plans designed to transition young people to less intensive and/or more sustainable long term living arrangements.

The target group for intervention includes young people who have experienced significant histories of trauma and abuse, multiple placement disruptions and who are isolated and marginalised. These young people typically present with a range of behaviours of concern and social/emotional/developmental difficulties.

The aim of ISS casework support is to assist the young people to develop safer, more stable and sustainable relationships and living environments. To achieve this, ISS staff are expected to work closely with all key people in the young person’s network including families, non-government providers of out of home care, schools, housing services, youth justice workers, private and public health providers and NDIS coordinators of support.

**What we’re looking for**

To be successful in this role you will have well developed communication and analytical skills, an understanding of the impact of trauma and abuse on a child’s development and a strong passion for working with and learning from spirited adolescents and young people, their families and our community partners. You will also have a:

- Bachelor’s degree in social work, social science, community welfare, youth work or a related discipline
- minimum of two (2) years’ experience in child protection, out of home care or provision of casework in another setting
- valid driver’s licence
- Working with Children clearance number

We collaborate with other agencies and community partners, to improve lives and realise the potential of children, adults, families and communities. We're focused on breaking, rather than managing, disadvantage. It’s work that really matters.
