**About the Organisation**

Djirra is an Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation with over 20 years’ experience accompanying Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women, and their children, on their individual journeys. We find solutions through Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women sharing their stories, journeys, and experiences. Djirra celebrates women’s strength and resilience. We are committed to a future without family violence.

We deliver holistic, culturally safe, specialist family violence support, legal services and case management, alongside cultural and wellbeing workshops, and programs. Our services have state-wide reach, touching every part of Victoria to meet the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women. Self-determination is the foundation of everything we do.

Djirra amplifies the voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women. We advocate for system-wide change to improve access to justice, eliminate systemic violence, and strengthen women’s resilience.

We are an active member of the National Family Violence Prevention and Legal Services Forum, the peak body for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who are experiencing or at risk of family violence.

**About the Role**

The Individual Support Services team provides intensive Specialist Family Violence support to Aboriginal women who are experiencing or have experienced family violence and are at risk of further harm. The team’s interventions range from short-term crisis responses to longer-term intensive case-management. The team is also responsible for the provision of financial support to Djirra clients who fit the criteria via the Brokerage Program.

Case Managers provide support to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and their children, who often present with multiple and complex needs, to achieve safety, stability, and resilience from family violence, and to heal from the trauma they experience. They provide client-centred, strength-based casework, utilising the Multi Agency Risk and Assessment Management Framework (MARAM) through a trauma
- informed lens.

This Case Manager position also has responsibility for a prison support portfolio which involves providing case management services within the MARAM framework to Aboriginal women, and their children, who are in prison or have been released from prison. As well as working from the Abbotsford office, these positions will work at times from a base at Melton with time spent there gradually increasing. Outreach to Dame Phyllis Frost and Tarrengower prisons will also be required.

The Prison Support Program is designed to assist Aboriginal women who have experienced family violence and incarceration to break the cycle of violence and offending and to live safe lives, connected to culture and free from trauma.

Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people are strongly encouraged to apply.

**Applications will close Tuesday 2 April 2024 at midnight.**

**Requirements**:

- National Police Check
- Working with Children’s Check
- Drivers Licence
- At least 2 years’ experience in the family violence sector, or in pre and post prison release support, preferably with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women would be highly regarded.
- Tertiary qualifications in Social Work, Community Development, or related discipline

**Benefits**
- Attractive salary packaging options (including meals and entertainment)
- Access to company vehicles for any work related travel
- Employee Assistance Program with supportive, confidential counselling for personal and work concern
- Self-care and Debriefing Program available for all staff
- Cultural awareness training in both formal and informal settings is provided
- Collaborative and inclusive team culture
