Morwell, Australia Anglicare Victoria Full time

About Us

At Anglicare Victoria our focus is on transforming the futures of children and young people, families and adults. Our work is based on three guiding pillars, Prevent, Protect, Empower. We offer a comprehensive network of services and seek to ensure the provision of high quality services that will bring about significant improvements in the life experience of the young people, children and families/caregivers with whom we work.

The Position

We provide and partner to deliver a range of protection and recovery services addressing both adult family violence and adolescent family violence, with a primary focus on the safety of women and children. Whenever issues of violence or abuse arise in families, the first step is to ensure that every family member is safe and protected from harm. Once that is achieved, counsellors and support workers can educate and equip families with new skills to help them move forward in a positive way. Family Violence services include office based, outreach, in-home, tailored, group work and a holistic approach for the whole family that aims to achieve better outcomes for families, in promoting the best interests of children. Individual and family work is complemented by group work where appropriate, and strategies to both engage families with their communities, as well as for communities to be more responsive to the needs of children and their families.

- A relevant tertiary degree in Social Work, Psychology, and/or related behavioural sciences with substantial experience, post graduate qualification or associate diploma with substantial experience, attained through previous appointments, service and/or study with a combination of experience, expertise, and competence sufficient to perform the duties required at this level. Based on specific Program requirements qualifications may need to align with the Mandatory Minimum Qualification Requirements for Specialist Family Violence Workers (Recommendation 209) or you are committed to working towards obtaining the required qualifications.
