Kinship Engagement Worker

6 days ago

Barwon Downs, Australia Department of Families, Fairness and Housing Full time

Kinship care is provided by relatives or a member of child or young person's social network when a child cannot live with their parents. In December 2017, the Minister for Families and Children announced the rollout of a new model of kinship care throughout Victoria which commenced on 1 March 2018. The model focusses on better and earlier identification of kinship carers; strengthening connections for Aboriginal children and young people with family, culture and community; providing increased, ongoing support for carers, children and young people; and a greater emphasis on assessing the needs of carers, children and young people.

Additional investment has been provided to better support placements from commencement and identifying the needs of carers, children and young people. Additional support has also been provided to Aboriginal agencies to strengthen supports to Aboriginal children and young people, including finding extended family, supporting carers and helping children and young people return to their parents where possible.

Situated in the Placement and Support Planning Unit, the Kinship Engagement Worker has responsibility for family finding and kinship support to support children's placements.

The Kinship Engagement Worker works closely with Child Protection and community service organisations to support the case plan goals.
