Specialist Family Violence Integrated Practitioner

3 days ago

Bayside, Australia Family Life Full time $80,000 - $120,000 per year

Growth Mindset – You pride yourself for your commitment to resilience and continuous improvement. You see growth opportunities as opposed to failures, and you are always on the lookout for an improved workflow or process. You think creatively, value input and feedback from peers, and adapt to changing or unforeseen circumstances.

Curiosity – You naturally seek out learning opportunities and further information without being prompted to by your manager. You clarify the 'Why' and like to investigate and explore further information.

Proactivity – You are a positive influence on your colleagues, you opt-in to support organisational projects, and always lend a hand to support others.

You are a skilled and motivated practitioner with experience providing brief, individual interventions to adults using family violence within a legal or specialist family violence context. You demonstrate a sound understanding of the MARAM Framework, the gendered nature of family violence, and how trauma, mental health, and substance use intersect with violent behaviour.

You bring experience conducting comprehensive risk assessments, developing safety plans, and delivering therapeutic, psychoeducational, and motivational interventions that promote accountability and sustainable behaviour change. You are confident engaging clients subject to Counselling Orders, collaborating with the Magistrates' Court, and working within a multi-agency environment to ensure coordinated and safe responses.

You are reflective, organised, and values-driven, with strong written and verbal communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively within a trauma-informed, strengths-based framework.

You will demonstrate:

  • Tertiary qualification in Social Work, Counselling, Psychology or a related field (meeting Rec 209 minimum qualification requirements).
  • Proven experience in family violence case management or therapeutic intervention for adults using violence.
  • Comprehensive knowledge of MARAM, Safe and Together principles, and trauma-informed practice.
  • Demonstrated capacity to deliver evidence-based interventions (e.g., CBT, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy).
  • Ability to navigate Court and Child Protection systems and manage complex family dynamics.
  • Excellent communication, collaboration and report-writing skills.
  • Resilience, curiosity and a growth mindset that supports continuous learning and adaptability.
