Hobart, Australia Save the Children Australia Full time

54 Reasons CLIMB program is a targeted short-term intervention strategy, designed to support disengaged primary school children to reconnect and engage with their school community. The name CLIMB was informed by conversations with children about why school is important and what helps them to go to school each day: C = Care, L = Learning, I = Imagination, M = Mates, B = Belonging. We need you to use your passion for children’s rights and development to help children achieve a sustainable transition back to school._

**54 reasons** is Australia’s leading child rights organisation - no ordinary not-for-profit.**

Proudly part of the Save the Children Australia Group and global movement, we’re here to make sure that everyone understands their rights. So that children and young people have their rights met and thrive, in all their diversity.

We champion the children, young people and families we work with. We are inspired by the curiosity and creativity of children and motivated by the love of those who care for them.

With the child’s voice at the centre, we provide quality services to children and their caregivers, advocating with them so that children develop, learn, and are connected, safe and confident. Our people are proudly local, reflective of the communities we serve - in every state and territory, and across regions, remote areas and capital cities.

**Where you come in**:
In this part-time maximum-term position (4 days per week through to the end of December), based in Hobart you’ll deliver targeted short-term interventions, designed to support primary school children who are disengaged, or at risk of becoming disengaged, to reconnect and engage with school. You’ll be working with children, their families, and schools to identify and address barriers to successful education engagement and will also work closely with key stakeholders to strengthen collaborative practice and create sustainable outcomes through the establishments of Student Wellbeing Networks. As part of our Youth and Family Services team, you’ll report to our Team Leader.
- You will make an impact by: _
- Supporting children to engage positively in education.
- Supporting children to reach their full potential and build sustainable support networks and connection to community.
- Empowering parents and caregivers to support their child’s engagement in education.
- Building and maintaining strong networks, service delivery partnerships, and effective referral pathways.
- Collecting and recording data and information for the purpose of accountability, evaluation, and reporting.

**Does this sound like you?**

Your motivation to see children and young people have positive education experiences and reach their full potential helps you to work holistically to deliver evidence-based interventions. At all times, you work from a strengths-based, trauma-informed, client centred and solution focused approach. Your excellent communication skills would make you the ideal for this role, and you’ll easily engage children, their families and the wider community.
- This role requires: _
- Diploma in a relevant field, or progress towards a qualification with experience in a community service setting.
- Ability to work with children and families, often with complex needs, in a safe and respectful way.
- Ability to work collaboratively with stakeholders to achieve positive client outcomes.
- Strong time management, organisational and record keeping skills.
- Knowledge of issues that impact the experiences of children at school, including trauma, neglect, and abuse.
- Knowledge and/or experience working within an education setting may be desirable, but not required.

**Working at 54 reasons is more than just a job.**

We are a learning organisation that invests in the development and wellbeing of our people. Our workforce is approximately 600 people strong, and proudly diverse, whether in race, ethnicity, gender, age, disability, sexuality, cultures and beliefs.

We are creative, connected and accountable, bringing energy, guts and ideas to all we do to champion children in Australia and partner with families, communities and partners to bring about change.

Our people work from both home and office, with important moments held in-person to foster belonging and support professional development. Our leave provisions include personal, ceremonial and family violence leave as well as the ability to purchase additional leave. Remuneration is benchmarked and we offer full non-profit salary packaging benefits.

Other benefits include:

- Award rate salary (SCHADS Level 4.1 - $41.52 per hour) plus full salary packaging benefits - use this link to see how much this benefit could mean to you
- 3 days (pro rata) of gifted festive leave between Christmas and New Year, in addition to regular leave benefits
