  • Relevant qualifications (e.g., a degree with two years' experience or equivalent).
  • Experience working with children and families affected by domestic violence.
  • Strong knowledge of child protection principles and mandatory reporting requirements.
  • Ability to work independently and manage workloads efficiently.
  • Proficiency in using case management systems and a good level of computer literacy.
  • A current NT driver's license and the ability to obtain an Ochre Card and a criminal history check.

Why Join Us?

Dawn House is dedicated to creating a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment for both staff and clients. We offer:

  • An opportunity to make a tangible difference in the lives of vulnerable children and families.
  • Ongoing professional development and support through supervision and training.
