  • Participate in regular supervision and professional development opportunities.

As a senior practitioner, you will be expected to demonstrate a deep understanding of Therapeutic Residential Care and the complex needs of the children and young people who access the service. You will also need to be committed to child safety, equity, cultural safety, and wellbeing.

Requirements
  • A minimum qualification of a Certificate IV in Child Youth and Family Intervention, Diploma of Community Services or Bachelor of Social Work or other similar/relevant tertiary qualification.

  • A current Drivers Licence.
Benefits

This role offers a competitive salary and a range of benefits, including ongoing training in trauma-informed care, regular supervision, and the backing of a values-driven organisation that believes in the potential of every child.

The successful candidate will join a skilled and supportive team that values collaboration, reflective practice, and seeing the strengths in every child and young person. We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment that ensures safety and a sense of belonging for everyone.
