**The Role**

The Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ) vision is to empower all people to live fulfilling lives and achieve their potential in inclusive communities with a focus on breaking, rather than managing, disadvantage.

The Housing Contact Centre (HCC) is a 24/7 contact centre operation of approx. 350 staff. The HCC office is located in Liverpool, with a regional office in Broken Hill, Bega, Kempsey and Port Macquarie.

HCC Aboriginal staff work in consultation/collaboration with Aboriginal Community Housing Providers (ACHP) and the Aboriginal Housing Office (AHO) to deliver culturally appropriate responses to housing needs, guided by principles of self-determination and self-management for Aboriginal people.

AEL staff also liaise with other HCC staff to impart understanding and ensure that Aboriginal cultural concerns are given proper attention in determining service delivery to Aboriginal clients.

The role may involve occasional travel to various locations across NSW.

**What we’re looking for**
- Excellent computer navigations skills and the ability to work between multiple screens and data bases.
- Ability to work across a range of programs, policies and systems to maximise Aboriginal Enquiry Line (AEL) and service delivery outcomes.

- Current NSW Working with Children Check clearance for paid employment. This is a requirement due to a shared office location with Community Services.
- Possession of a current NSW Driver’s Licence or NSW Photo Card.
- Documented verification of Aboriginality.

The Department will accept proof of Aboriginality confirming the following:

- You are an Aboriginal person of Aboriginal descent;
- You identify as being Aboriginal; and

An acceptable form of documented verification is a “Confirmation of Aboriginality” letter, provided to you by a local Aboriginal organisation that includes a common seal from that organisation.
