Our Vision and ValuesWe remain steadfast in our commitment to promoting the economic, political, and social inclusion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Our vision is to support people to live life their way, and our values include cultural safety, integrity, and accountability.

The salary for this role is $73,000 - $92,000 per annum, plus superannuation and salary packaging options. We also offer flexible work arrangements, including hybrid home/office options, and accrue an additional day off each month (a bonus of 12 days per year) as a full-time employee.
Required Skills and QualificationsTo be successful in this role, you will need:
- A relevant degree qualification in a related field, such as Social Work or Psychology.
- At least 12 months experience working with at-risk children, young people, and/or families in a child protection-focused role.
- An excellent understanding of child protection issues and client vulnerabilities, including drug and alcohol use, domestic violence, mental health issues, and the impact of trauma on child behaviour and development.
- Excellent IT skills and ability to use technology in service delivery.
- Ability to work unsupervised and remotely.
- High level of professional accountability and integrity.
