What you will be doing
The Community Development/Lived Experience Worker will play a vital role in supporting victim‑survivors of family, domestic and sexual violence (FDSV) by providing practical, emotional, and trauma‑informed assistance as part of the Local Link Team (LLT). Drawing on your lived experience, you will build trust with clients, assist with service navigation and safety planning, and promote culturally safe, client‑centred support. You will also contribute to community development, education and workforce training by helping primary care providers recognise, respond to, and refer disclosures of FDSV and child sexual abuse (CSA). This role bridges personal insight and professional practice to strengthen service responses and foster safer, more responsive care pathways within the community and health sectors.
