SALARY: Attractive remuneration plus superannuation and salary packaging.

ABOUT THE ORGANISATION
Since 1991, Yorganop has been Western Australia's first Aboriginal foster care agency. Yorganop works in partnership with government agencies, Aboriginal families, and our community of carers to provide safe and secure care for Aboriginal children. For 34 years Yorganop has been providing essential services for the increasing high number of vulnerable Aboriginal children in Out-of-Home Care.
Yorganop's key driver for over 34 years is to enable children, in particular, Aboriginal children in out-of-home care to fulfil their potential and thrive in life (culturally, socially, and emotionally). We achieve this by providing culturally safe, secure, stable, caring homes with carers who understand Aboriginal ways of being and doing. Yorganop carers are supported in providing culturally safe placements through Yorganop's ongoing cultural training, and immersion in Yorganop's carer community.
