About the role

Your impact
As an Adult and Family Team Leader in our West region based in Sunshine, you will lead a team of skilled and committed Counsellor Advocates (CAs) to provide safe, person-centred, effective and connected services. This role provides responsive and supportive leadership to the team to ensure the delivery of high quality assessment, counselling and advocacy services using a diverse range of developmentally appropriate psychosocial therapeutic interventions which are accessible, trauma informed, culturally safe and appropriate to the needs of refugee background survivors of torture and trauma, and their families. You will assume responsibility for providing line management and supervision to CAs in their work with clients, aligned with the Foundation House Trauma Recovery Framework and _Rebuilding Shattered Lives: Integrated Trauma Recovery for People of Refugee Background _(2nd edition).

You will build excellent stakeholder relationships in consultation with the Regional Manager, and influence to improve the responsiveness of those service systems.
