Windermere is a community services organisation working for those with varied and complex needs, and we truly believe that **everyone is someone in our community**.

**THE TEAM**
Our dedicated Victims Assistance Program assists individuals with their management of the impact of crime. Through the provision of consumer focussed case management services, we promote recovery and minimise secondary victimisation sometimes experienced in the criminal justice systems. We are experts in this space and on the verge of expansion - we currently support 3,000 consumers each year and this will grow as we expand into new regions.

This role includes responding directly to victim survivors, building FV capacity across the Victims Assistance program, and undertaking community engagement and education activities.

You will provide information and advice to victim survivors, assist them to navigate the justice system, and refer to specialist services as required. You will also liaise with other victim services including Family Violence and Sexual Assault Services. Success will be achieved when victim survivors **feel empowered, receive a tailored service according to their goals and focused on their individual safety and recovery.**

A Driver Licence is essential as you’ll provide both outreach and remote services to your consumers. You will also require a minimum of 3 years' experience working in family violence.

**STAFF BENEFITS GALORE**

**WORKPLACE CULTURE AT OUR CORE**
We aim to build diverse and inclusive services and work environments where all individuals from Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander, CALD, LGBTIQ+ communities and those living with disability will know and feel accepted, affirmed, safe and celebrated.

Windermere care about staff and strive for continuous improvement, which is why we regularly ask our staff and consumers about what we can do better.
