**Role Details**

The SA Government has committed to reforming the child protection system in South Australia. The Department of Human Services (DHS) has lead responsibility for implementing the Child and Family Support System reform, in which Safer Family Services (SFS) plays a key part.
Safer Family Services (SFS) provides help and support to children and their families at risk of harm, neglect and family violence, by deliberately and strongly intervening to disrupt the patterns of intergenerational trauma and increase the number of children able to be cared for safely in their homes, connected to culture and community. This is particularly relevant for children and families with multiple and complex needs.

The Practice Lead is a role within SFS and is accountable to the General Manager for:

- Providing practice leadership across SFS, sharing expert practice knowledge to drive practice excellence and improve outcomes for infants, children, young people, and their families.

- Providing clinical consultation on cases, and clinical direction and escalation to leadership on sensitive and/or high-risk matters.
- Providing clinical supervision to AHP3 Supervisors with a focus on reflective practice and educative support to lead a culture of continuous improvement to deliver effective responses to complex and high-risk child safety matters.

Key outcomes and accountabilities:
1. Provide practice leadership and drive practice excellence through consultation, mentoring, educating and modelling best-practice standards.
2. Identify skill and knowledge gaps in staff and lead strategic projects to build practice capability within regions and across SFS.
3. Provide a high level of clinical knowledge, expertise and advice related to working with children and families with child protection concerns in the development of policy and programs within SFS and DHS.
4. Lead service improvement including the development, implementation, monitoring and review of professional practice standards and service models across SFS.
6. Provide leadership in discipline-specific and multi-professional research, service development, innovative practices and initiatives, through research data analysis, evaluation of services and development of recommendations to assist management decision making.
7. Participate as part of a collaborative and collegiate team of Practice Leaders across SFS who work together to drive practice excellence across the organisation.
