About This Role

This is a challenging and rewarding position that allows you to make a real difference in the lives of vulnerable families.

You will provide therapy, care coordination, and advocacy to families experiencing child protection concerns. You will work alongside a multidisciplinary team to enhance child safety, strengthen parenting capacity, and support placement stability, restoration, and family preservation.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Providing individual and family therapy, including evidence-based models such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
  • Conducting assessments and developing case plans to address child protection concerns
  • Coordinating and advocating on behalf of clients to access relevant services and supports

What We Offer

This role offers a unique opportunity to gain valuable experience and skills in child protection and therapy. You will receive ongoing professional development through connections with professionals across the sector, including training, regular supervision, and peer support.

We foster a supportive culture that values knowledge-sharing, mutual respect, and family-centred care - while never losing sight of the importance of balance and well-being.
