**Your role**

The Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ) vision is to empower all people to live fulfilling lives and achieve their potential in inclusive communities with a focus on breaking, rather than managing, disadvantage.

The Housing Contact Centre (HCC) is a 24/7 contact centre operation of approx. 350 staff. The HCC office is located in Liverpool, with regional offices in Broken Hill, Bega, Kempsey and Nyngan. The centre delivers phone support to NSW clients with access to social housing services, including Link2home crisis accommodation, Social Housing Applications and Rentstart bond loan service.

The HCC manages the Aboriginal Enquiry line (AEL), which provides culturally appropriate services to clients over the phone between 8:30 am - 4:30 pm weekdays.

Your role is to work within a team of Aboriginal Enquiry Officers to closely oversee the AEL service and work with internal and external stakeholders to provide this service to our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients. While the AEL is primarily handled by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Client Service Officers (CSO), this role will be to manage escalations, as well as lead the AEL line toward future change and development.

The role offers a generous salary package and internal career progression.

**What you’ll do**

You’ll be working full time directly from our regional office in Nyngan as part of the (HCC) and will be a valuable part of our Aboriginal Enquiry Line team.

The role provides real-time and ongoing leadership, direction, support and feedback across own and other contact centre teams, working closely with facilitating the delivery of quality service delivery outcomes in the achievement of DCJ objectives.

HCC Aboriginal staff work in consultation/collaboration with Aboriginal Community Housing Providers (ACHP) and the Aboriginal Housing Office (AHO) to deliver culturally appropriate responses to housing needs, guided by principles of self-determination and self-management for Aboriginal people. AEL staff also liaise with other HCC staff to impart understanding and ensure that Aboriginal cultural concerns are given proper attention in determining service delivery to Aboriginal clients.

The role may involve occasional travel to various locations across NSW.

- Ability to uphold a high degree of sensitivity and professional empathy.
- Ability to meet the key performance indicators (KPI) to achieve satisfactory and timely resolution level of service.

- You are an Aboriginal person of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander persons l descent;
