The Family Violence Prevention (FVP) Division includes a variety of programs including Tangentyere Family Violence Prevention Program (FVPP) under which sits the Men's Behaviour Change Program (MBCP), Tangentyere Women's Family Safety Group (TWFSG), Strong Families Program, and Domestic Violence Specialist Children's Service (DVSCS).

The Tangentyere Men's Behaviour Change Program (MBCP) incorporates Element Four of the Northern Territory's Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence Reduction Framework Safe, Respected and Free from Violence and is one of the five key components of the Northern Territory Government ten-year plan to reduce the impact of domestic, family, and sexual violence in our community.

This role will work within a co-responder model with key stakeholders who include DFV victim survivor practioners, child protection practioners and police providing time-limited follow up to the person committing DFV after the initial occurrence when it is safe, appropriate, and/or more effective to do so. This may be by telephone, in person, at the police station, or at the DFV specialist service. This includes emergency support, risk assessment, information, safety planning for immediate needs, and connecting people committing DFV to supports to foster accountability and behaviour change and address immediate needs (including suitability assessment and referral to the Tangentyere men's Behaviour Change program, specialist services, housing, mental health, and alcohol and other drug services etc.). This role will also represent Tangentyere Council on the Family Safety Framework. This includes attending the Family Safety Meeting every fortnight with the purpose of sharing information and collaborating on risk management actions to improve the safety of victim survivors identified as being at serious risk of DFSV related harm or death.

The successful candidate will take a leadership role to build strategic partnerships in the context of Men's Behaviour Change. This role is committed to building relationships with external stakeholders/partners and collaborating with other services. Secondary consultations will be undertaken with internal and external stakeholders to build capacity around men who use violence.

The successful candidate will have completed tertiary studies in Social Work, Welfare Studies, Psychology, or a related discipline with experience in assessment and intake and the delivery of Men's Behaviour Change work or in a similar field where intake and assessment is undertaken. Those applicants working towards a relevant qualification will not be excluded from applying for the position where oversight, support and supervision is available from highly qualified and experienced supervisors. Skills and experience in group work practices is highly desirable.

The successful candidate will also be a highly motivated individual with excellent communication skills who is committed to reducing violence against women and children in Central Australia and will engage with stakeholders to promote the MBCP and to ensure the program is culturally safe and accepted by individuals, families, and communities across the Alice Springs region.
