Perth, Western Australia Wungening Aboriginal Corporation Full time $80,000 - $120,000 per year

WUNGENING ABORIGINAL CORPORATION

Healing Mind, Body & Spirit

ABORIGINAL AND TORRES STRAIT ISLANDER PEOPLE ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO APPLY.

Our organisation is committed to protecting children and young people from harm. We require all applicants to undergo an extensive screening process prior to appointment.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Reporting to the Wungening Moort Coordinator, this position will work within the Wungening Moort Aboriginal In-Home Support Service (AISS). The service is delivered through a Consortium of four Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations, comprising Ebenezer Aboriginal Corporation, Moorditj Koort, Coolabaroo Community Services, and led by the Wungening Aboriginal Corporation.

You will work alongside the Moort Case workers and Aboriginal Moort Support workers to provide intensive support and case management to the most vulnerable Aboriginal families in the Perth Metropolitan area.

Your focus will be to work with families to nurture moorditj djerripin koorlungas (strong happy children). As a senior member of the team, you will carry a caseload of the most complex families active within the team.

You will work through a process of engagement, assessment and planning, intensive support and step down, promoting self-determination and family participation in all aspects of service delivery. You will promote healing within the family system by promoting family and cultural connection, while providing a mix parenting, advocacy and practical in-home support. The support you provide will assist parents/caregivers to resolve personal and family issues and build resilience and capacity to respond to crisis, create a safe, protective environment for their children and improve connectedness to the community.

This will enable the service to deliver the outcomes prescribed by our funding body:

  • Families improve parenting skills to safely care for their children
  • Families address issues that impact negatively on their children
  • Families develop skills and get their children to school
  • Families improve and develop culturally safe support networks

You will be an active contributor to the continuous improvement of the service, model practice excellence and promote the learning and development of your colleagues.

ESSENTIAL SELECTION CRITERIA (address this in your cover letter)

  • A bachelor's degree in social work, psychology or related discipline or 3-5 years of significant relevant experience in a child protection / family support setting.
  • Considerable experience in working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to promote healing and family safety and wellbeing.
  • Understanding and knowledge of the issues and challenges experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Straits Islander families and children in contact with the child protections system.
  • Demonstrated high level communication, facilitation and negotiation skills including written, oral and interpersonal skills.
  • Ability to manage stakeholder relationships and promote the reputation of the Wungening Moort program and work part of a team to deliver a quality service.
  • Ability to facilitate case conferences and therapeutic groups from an anti-oppressive framework that promotes empowerment and self-determination.
  • Excellent time management skills, with the ability to work under pressure, meet deadlines and act decisively.
