About Us
At Baptcare, we care. Our Mission and Vision are lived through our WE CARE Values: for our residents, customers, clients, partners, and supporters; with the very young through to the very old, the vulnerable, with families through all of life’s stages and challenges.
Baptcare is a purpose driven organisation working across Victoria, Tasmania, and South Australia. Focused on providing residential and community care for older people and support to children, families, and people with disability, financially disadvantaged people and people seeking asylum.
Our Values are Wellbeing, Ethics, Co-creating, Accountability, Respect and Effectiveness.
About the Role
The Kinship Care Practitioner works in partnership with Child Protection and other support services to deliver holistic case management to children and young people in kinship care. The program aims to support placement stability, with supports tailored to the needs of the placement, including the kinship carer, and family. Delivery of such case management requires effective trauma-informed support planning.
A key focus of the role is to undertake risk assessment and effective, trauma-informed support planning for a range of complex issues related to drug and alcohol, family violence, mental health, disadvantage, and poverty, resulting in chronic neglect and/or cumulative harm, in line with best practice approaches and the Looking After Children (LAC) framework. Delivery of the service occurs primarily through outreach to children, young people, and carers in their homes.
About You
**You will ideally bring the following**:
Tertiary Qualifications in Social Work, Psychology, or other relevant Human Services qualification and/or experience.
Knowledge and understanding of trauma, child development and family dynamics.
Comprehensive knowledge of the Child Protection system, legislation, and frameworks, in addition to practice considerations for Out of Home Care Services.
Knowledge of the legislative and political context, with ability to research and seek information from stakeholders to support and inform assessment of risk and service efficacy.
Demonstrated ability to identify, assess and prioritise risks and needs of clients in a holistic approach to practice.
Demonstrated ability to adapt to meet a changing environment and needs of carer and/or client group while maintaining focus on service delivery.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, including negotiation and problem-solving.
