  • 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.

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