ABOUT US
Ngaanyatjarra Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (NPY) Women's Council was founded and is still led, governed and directed by women from the NPY region. It was created to give a voice to women across 26 desert communities in the cross-border regions of Western Australia, South Australia and the Northern Territory. Today, we continue to provide progressive, innovative and evidence-based work in service delivery, advocacy and support.
At its core NPY Women's Council is about family and community – walytja. Our purpose is to work with women, children and their families of the Ngaanyatjarra, Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara region in central Australia. Our role is to work side by side and help increase their capacity to lead safe and healthy lives with improved life choices.
ABOUT THE TEAM
The Child and Family Wellbeing Service is made up of three programs; Child Nutrition, Intensive Family Support and Child Advocacy.
The primary focus of the Child and Family Wellbeing Service (CFWS) is to deliver targeted, efficient and effective community services within the NPY region, seeking the best possible outcomes with regard to improving the quality of life for Anangu children and communities.
In the role of Kinship Case Manager you will primarily work with the Walytjapiti and Child Advocacy programs.
ABOUT THE ROLE
The primary function of the Kinship Case Manager is to support kinship carers in the NPY lands. Based remotely and providing holistic and intensive case management, you will offer placement stability support to both carers and children placed in their care.
Additionally, you will work alongside Anangu families to identify and locate potential carers and support them through SA Department of Child Protection's (DCP) assessment process. Family scoping activities will be integral to the role and will include the use of genograms and other mapping approaches.
ABOUT YOU
You will have qualifications in Social Work, Counselling, Psychology, Community Services and / or relevant experience and demonstrated case management or community development experience with families and children.
This is a unique chance to work for an organisation that takes a grassroots approach to community development. You will have the privilege of working closely alongside Anangu families and communities and get to experience an amazing landscape and part of the world.
You will receive a comprehensive orientation program as well as best practice supervision and professional development that includes vicarious trauma, case management and four-wheel drive training. We also provide critical incident debriefing and a range of counselling services to support you.
In addition to this, we offer above award remuneration, salary packaging benefits, generous leave entitlements to care for you and your family as well as a retention bonus. We also provide NPYWC accommodation and use of a company vehicle whilst travelling.
