**About the role**

This is not your average role, so let me explain. It's a full-time job where you will be part of a transformative short-term treatment foster care team to care for a young person aged 7-11 in your own home for around 9 months.

You will also have:

- A suitable living space, including a spare bedroom.
- No children under three years old living in the home.
- A solid support network and a good sense of humour.
- Be willing to undergo thorough screening processes and assessment interviews.

**What’s in it for you?**

This is a great opportunity to make a difference in a young person's life by helping to sculpt a successful path for a child who needs a structured and therapeutic environment.
- You will be paid a tax-free carer allowance of $6,250 per month, and you might also be eligible for Family Tax Benefit A&B.
- Be a part of a program that helps children develop the skills they need to thrive at home, in school, and in the community.
