**About Your Role**

This position provides therapeutic counselling and advocacy to children, young people, and their families when physical abuse, emotional abuse, neglect and / or domestic violence has occurred within the family.

The role of the CPCS clinician is specialised and complex, with the focus of intervention being to maintain the child or young person in their family where possible with the intention to prevent recurrence of abuse, as well as to prevent placement breakdown, and assist families to address the impacts and effects of the abuse and neglect.

Counselling will be the core task of the position, however co-ordination of health service delivery to the child and advocacy for client interests within the child protection response will also be significant responsibilities. CPCS clinicians also provide consultation, support and education and training for health workers on child protection issues and concerns.

Violence, Abuse and Neglect services are provided under the Priority Populations Program (PPP) within the MLHD. These services are integrated and work alongside each other to collaborate with joint projects, training and joint work with clients and families as required.

CPCS is a specialist trauma informed and child focused counselling service that works with children and young people as well as with their families and carers.
