  • Establish rapport and collaborate effectively with children and their families to achieve positive outcomes.
  • Develop and deliver programs to support the children in consultation with internal and external stakeholders and care teams.

  • Maintenance of progress notes and record-keeping.

Skills & Experience:

  • Certificate in Community or Children's Services (advantageous but not essential).
  • Ability to build rapport with kids through sports or games and hobbies.
  • A current Senior First Aid Certificate (or willing to obtain during background checks).
  • A current unrestricted Drivers Licence.
  • A commitment to supporting and promoting the individual needs, skills, abilities and personal goals of the people we support.
  • Good communication skills including the ability to develop and maintain good working relationships with internal and external stakeholders (including families of service users).
  • The ability to build relationships with diverse cultural groups and to work within frameworks considerate of cultural needs.

Successful candidates will be required to clear probity checks including National Criminal History Record Check, Working with Children Check and Child Protection Clearance.
