Step Up Respect Program Lead/Facilitator

Level: 6.1

Salary: $108,969 per annum/pro rata

Status: Permanent Full Time

The Tangentyere Family Violence Prevention (FVP) Division's approach is underpinned by the Northern Territory's Domestic, Family & Sexual Violence Reduction Framework 2018–2028 Safe, Respected, and Free from Violence Framework principles and the National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women and their Children the National Plan). Both Frameworks guide our approach and responses to Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence (DFSV) with Aboriginal community members who live in the Town Camps of Alice Springs.

The FVP is an integrated program with components designed to meet the needs of men, women, young people, and children who have been impacted by DFSV, as well as primary prevention work, and also consists of a Men's Behaviour Change Program, the Tangentyere Women's Family Safety Group, and the Young Women's Family Safety Group.

The Domestic Violence Specialist Children's Services (DVSCS) provides specialist early intervention support for Aboriginal young people, aged between 12 and 18, who have been impacted by DFSV.

The Step Up Respect program will work within the Tangentyere Family Violence Prevention Program team and sit alongside the DVSCS to deliver training, messaging and campaigns that normalise conversations about sexual consent, jealousing, pornography and harmful sexualised behaviours. The Step Up Respect Lead Group Facilitator will also supervise StepUp Respect Program Support Facilitator and work together to deliver training with young people disengaged from school and influencers of those young people throughout the community.

Step Up Respect aims to have conversations with young people about sexual consent, jealousing, pornography and harmful sexual behaviours. Step Up Respect will particularly focus on young people who are disengaged from school settings and who may miss out on any school-based programming. Step Up Respect aims to have these conversations and deliver programming in positive and engaging ways by taking a strength-based approach to promote healthy relationships.

The successful candidate will have completed tertiary studies in Social Work, Youth Work, Community Development, or a related discipline, and/or have relevant experience working alongside young people. Having a strong understanding of DFSV is desirable, however training can be provided to the right candidate.

You will work as part of a team of the Tangentyere Family Violence Prevention program implementing the Step up Respect program including leading the facilitation of group work content and the delivery of group programs to young people and their influential adults. Importantly, you will ensure the program is accessible, trauma informed and culturally safe, and is accepted by young people, families, and communities.

The successful candidate will be a highly motivated individual with excellent communication skills who is committed to reducing violence against women and children and supporting young people to engage in safe and respectful relationships.
