  • Create and update individualised case management plans for all clients.
  • Coordinate and participate in stakeholder meetings with other services and clients.
  • Facilitate support groups for CKP carers.
  • Plan, organise, and facilitate school holiday activities.

  • Strong experience with facilitating group sessions.
  • Knowledge of childhood developmental stages and best practice parenting strategies, including behaviour management.
  • Demonstrated case management experience with well-developed written and verbal communication skills.
