Job Type: Permanent - Part Time
Location: Richmond
Job Category: Community Services and Development
About the organisationJesuit Social Services is a social change organisation working to build a just society where all people can live to their full potential. We reflect on the critical factors shaping our contemporary world; the social, political and economic contexts, and we adapt our practice to work with those most in need.
Since 1977, Jesuit Social Services has provided services to some of the most disadvantaged in our community.
We place a high priority on advocacy and are a leader in policy development and research.
About the programOffender Prevention Service
Stop It Now is a child sexual abuse prevention program which works with individuals concerned about their own or someone else's sexual thoughts or behaviours towards children. It was first established by a victim-survivor of child sexual abuse in the U.S 30 years ago, and we have been delivering the service here in Australia for over two years. We are working to develop a larger scale Offender Prevention Service based on the Stop It Now Pilot program.
The program's key feature is an anonymous phone helpline for people who are worried about their own sexual thoughts and behaviours in relation to children, as well as professionals and family members who are concerned about the behaviour of others. The service also includes a website with advice, self-help materials and guidance to raise awareness around child abuse. Stop it Now/Offender Prevention Service is dedicated to reducing or eliminating the sexual abuse and exploitation of children and seeks to achieve this by engaging with adults who may go on to harm children, and other protective adults. While the service can be accessed anonymously, all mandatory reporting guidelines are complied with.
The Offender Prevention Service sits within the Child Sexual Abuse Prevention team, and is part of The Men's Project.
The Men's Project
The Men's Project leadership on the reduction of violence and other harmful behaviours prevalent among boys and men and builds approaches to improve their wellbeing and keep families and communities safe.
Our vision is for good men, respectful relationships and safe communities.
We will achieve this by undertaking research to understand the behaviours and underlying attitudes of men and boys, promoting positive change around gender norms and being a man, develop innovative ways to stop cycles of violence and harmful behaviour, including delivery of content to the construction industry, sporting clubs, schools, and many more. The Men's Project also focused on strengthening early intervention responses for adults and young people to prevent child sexual abuse.
The Men's Project builds on Jesuit Social Services' over 45 year engagement with boys and men in trouble, but it also involves us leading new work to reduce violence, to improve the wellbeing of boys and men, and to keep families and communities safe.
