**The Organisation**
The Victorian Aboriginal Child Care Agency (VACCA) is an Aboriginal Community-Controlled organisation that supports and advocates for the Aboriginal Community and is the largest organisation of it’s kind in Australia. The VACCA team is committed to the organisation’s visions and values, passionately providing support, service and advocacy for our children and other vulnerable members of the community.
Our Aboriginality is what distinguishes us from other community organisations and it is why we are able to deliver positive outcomes that lead to ongoing change.
Our strength lies with our people, and all people are welcome at VACCA
**About the role**
Better Futures is a program that supports young people who have been in the statutory care system to transition into independence and adulthood. Better Futures is a new way of supporting care leavers, engaging with young people and their support networks, including case managers and care teams early in their transition from care, and supporting young people across 5 service offers: housing and living skills, education, employment, health and wellbeing and community connections. Young people are eligible for Better Futures support from 15 years and 9 months until their 21st birthday. Young people are provided with levels of support which flex up and down according to their needs, existing support networks and the transition goals they have identified.
The Better Futures Community Connector will identify pathways, resources and relationships within the community that can support young people to realise their aspirations, develop their strengths and achieve their goals. This role will be key in creating links between young people leaving care and their communities. The Community Connector will support Better Futures workers as a secondary consult to create and foster community connections. This role will involve networking, building relationships, collaborating, and educating Inner and Outer Gippsland service providers and the greater community.
