About CareSouth
CareSouth is a community-focused organization operating in various regional areas across NSW, dedicated to making a positive impact every day.
Our mission is to promote and support the safety, growth, and empowerment of children, young individuals, adults, and communities. We provide services in early intervention, foster care, youth assistance, and NDIS programs.
With 30 years of service to the local community, we are seeking a collaborative leader who can think strategically to help us enhance and expand our operations in both existing and new communities to address increasing needs and growth in our services.
About the Role
Due to internal transitions and program expansion, CareSouth is looking for two Caseworkers to become part of the Wagga Permanency Support Program.
Options for Full-Time or Part-Time (4 days) positions are available.
At CareSouth, we are committed to fostering safety, healing, and connection through positive relationships. Supporting families, children, and young individuals is central to our values.
As a Caseworker, you will work as part of a team that operates dynamically across the child protection spectrum, including family preservation, permanency support, restoration, and adoption.
A typical day may involve:
- Visiting children, young individuals, and caregivers in their residences
- Collaborating holistically with caregivers, families, and service providers to assist children and young individuals in achieving their objectives
- Engaging in supportive teamwork with a diverse group to share knowledge and insights for optimal outcomes for children and young individuals
- Documenting the goals, journeys, and milestones of children and young individuals
- Facilitating permanency for children and young individuals, ensuring they have a stable home for life
About You
To excel in a Caseworker role at CareSouth, you should be resilient, dedicated, and passionate about making a meaningful difference in the lives of young individuals.
The Wagga team is known for its collaborative and supportive environment, so we are looking for someone who is a strong team player, possesses a good sense of humor, and is willing to go the extra mile for the young individuals you support.
As the ideal candidate, you will demonstrate the following qualifications:
- A commitment to the safety of children, young individuals, and individuals with disabilities
- A degree in Social Work, Psychology, or a Diploma in Social Sciences/Social Welfare or equivalent, or currently pursuing one
- An understanding of the challenges faced by vulnerable children and their families
- Strong interpersonal, facilitation, and conflict resolution skills
- The ability to work independently and as part of a high-performing team
- A proven track record of establishing and maintaining effective community networks
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills
- A commitment to Equal Employment Opportunity, Work Health and Safety, cultural considerations, and the NSW Child Protection system
- A current driver's license
- Willingness to undergo a National Police Clearance and obtain a (NSW) Working with Children Check clearance number and/or (ACT) Working with Vulnerable People Card
To acknowledge your contributions, we offer:
- A compassionate, supportive, and inclusive culture that encourages boldness, kindness, and determination
- 24/7 After Hours Call center to ensure work-life balance
- Concessional leave available during the holiday season
- Salary packaging benefits up to $15,899
- Access to a free, confidential, and independent Employee Assistance Program (including free access to physical, mental, and financial online support)
- Customized professional development pathways
- 24/7 access to our online eLearning platform
