  • Contribute to sector development through training and consultation
  • Collaborate with other professionals to provide a coordinated, family-centred response

Hours:
1 FTE, 9am–5:06pm with flexibility for occasional after-hours work

  • Eligibility for professional registration
  • At least 2 years of counselling experience, ideally in trauma or family violence
