**About the Role**
As a Family Services Practitioner, you may be required to work in mainstream Integrated Family Services (see attached Position Description), or one or more of the specialty streams described below;
**Family Preservation and Reunification Response (FPRR)**
The Victorian Family Preservation and Reunification Response (FPRR, or _the Response_), has been funded by DFFH, and was co-designed with representatives from the child and family services sector.
The Response includes an initial intensive intervention phase, delivered through a mobile and integrated approach, followed by a sustained service support phase, aimed at preventing at-risk children entering or re-entering care. The Response will link to, align with, and build on (and not duplicate) existing child and family services within the broader service system, providing an enhanced continuum of care across the state.
The model is an integrated and evidence-based/informed approach to supporting and problem solving with families and preventing children and young people’s re/entry to out of home care. The team will work as a cohesive whole and report directly to the Windermere FPRR Practice Team Leader.
The FPRR Practitioner will provide outreach wraparound services to families where children’s ages range from unborn to adolescents.
**Integrated Family Services (IFS)**
As a Family Services Practitioner working in mainstream IFS and all specialist areas (as per above), you will work with families utilising the Practitioner Coaching Framework (PCF). The aim of the PCF is to build the capability and capacity of families through a coaching model, with the end goal of families being self-sufficient to work through and solve their own problems and issues.
