Your Opportunity

In this rewarding career opportunity, based in Rosny Park you will join a well-established, small team of experienced practitioners and contribute to programs which have been operating since 2009.

This is an exciting hybrid role, where you will have the opportunity to utilise your case management skills across two programs - as the Community Kinship Program (CKP) practitioner and Integrated Family Support Service (IFSS) practitioner.

CKP works with informal kinship carers who have taken on the primary care of a related child. This support includes case management, coordination of support groups and school holiday programs.

IFSS is a voluntary service focused on increasing the safety, stability, and wellbeing of children, young people, and their families by providing support and resources to build family strengths, resilience, and capacity. The service provides early intervention for children and families at risk of entering the Child Safety system. This is done by supporting the family to identify patenting-based goals and then working collaboratively to achieve these.

Your Key Responsibilities
- Engage with families and work together to develop effective plans for long-term positive outcomes.
- Actively work with families to identify goals that will promote safety, well-being and belonging for their children.
- Working with families in their homes and at other suitable locations, to overcome barriers to engagement both actively and proactively.
- Undertaking case management tasks including assessments, reviews, reporting, referrals, local area intake and other administrative functions ensuring all are completed accurately and in a timely fashion.
- Create and update individualised case management plans for all clients.
- Coordinate and participate in stakeholder meetings with other services and clients.
- Facilitate support groups for CKP carers.
- Plan, organise and facilitate school holiday activities.

Requirements for Success

With a significant background in
_child, youth & family and/or _
- Social Welfare/Social Science_, you will be confident in your case management and assessment processes. Other requirements include:

- A minimum of a Diploma in Community services or related discipline.
- Experience in Community Services - working with youth and families highly regarded.
- Demonstrated experience in engaging and working therapeutically with children and families and people with a disability.
- Must have compassion, kindness, and a high degree of empathy.
- Ability to use computer systems to complete data entry, case notes, reports etc.
- Strong experience with facilitating group sessions.
- Knowledge of childhood developmental stages and best practice parenting strategies including behaviour management.
- Demonstrated case management experience with well-developed written and verbal communication skills.
- Drivers Licence required due to travel requirements for outreach.

Before starting work with us, you will need to undertake a national police history check, qualifications, and referee checks, and have a clearance to work with children/vulnerable people.
