THE ROLE
Rural After Hours Services (RAHS) teams are part of the After Hours Services (Statewide) service across the state.
Members of these teams conduct urgent rural area visits to respond to cases where existing and new Child Protection clients are at significant risk and require an urgent out of hours response. Practitioners conducting this response will consult with team managers throughout the outreach regarding key decisions.
In this team, you will enjoy a critical, fast-paced environment whilst working part-time hours during the day and on call during weeknights, weekends and public holidays.
**The core function of the RAHS team is to**:
- respond to reports about children where there is concern that they are in need of protection
- undertake investigations and develop plans to ensure the immediate safety and wellbeing of children and young people

- initiate and prepare matters for the Children's Court
- work closely with other professionals such as police, family violence services, Aboriginal Controlled Community Organisations (ACCO) and medical professionals to share information and conduct a shared approach to risk.
As a member of this team you are eligible for a standby (on-call) allowance for each time period you are on standby, regardless of whether you are called out on an outreach visit, as well as additional overtime rates for hours worked when called out on outreach visits.
ACCOUNTABILITIES INCLUDE
1. Risk assessment and analysis - gathers information through a variety of sources and technologies in order to identify, articulate, and plan for the risks relating to each situation. Applies a strong forensic lens, and professional judgement, to analyse the available evidence.
