ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

As an Advocate in our Crisis Response team you will work with victim survivors referred through the Orange Door and tailor a support plan to their needs.

Advocating and upholding the rights of women and children to be safe and free motivates you to come to work each day. You will have the capability for reflection and self-insight to develop your practice and know the importance of self-care to maintain resilience when working with trauma. People describe you as flexible, adaptable and positive in your approach.

**REQUIREMENTS**:

- We are a welcoming, supportive and inclusive team, driven by a shared vision of a community free from violence where everyone is safe.
- We walk the talk on inclusion: bring your whole self to work
- We believe in lifelong learning and support our people to engage in professional development.
- We embrace flexibility and hybrid working - whilst we believe some time together in person is critical, we know balancing life and work is important
- We have great benefits like parental leave, EAP and wellbeing programs

OUR COMMITMENT TO SAFETY, EQUITY, DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION

Due to the gendered nature of family violence, much of our workforce is women, though this is not a requirement for all roles. We never discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, age, or marital, veteran, or disability status.
