The successful candidate will hold a case load of 8-9 complex families and complete comprehensive risk assessments with adult victim survivors and children according to Victoria's Multi Agency Risk Assessment and Management (MARAM) framework. They will work with victim survivors and their children using an intersectional feminist framework to identify and achieve goals.

We are seeking a highly skilled professional who can reflect and analyze complex situations arising in specialist family violence casework. The ideal candidate will have a minimum Bachelor level qualification in Social Work or equivalency met through the 7 Equivalency Principles. They should have an understanding of the gendered nature of family violence and its impact on women and their children.
