Our Organisation

The Benevolent Society's vision is to build a just society where all Australians can live their best life.

About the role

As our
Caseworker
you will provide critical support to vulnerable families helping them keep their children safely at home. You will conduct initial assessments of each family's strengths and needs, develop case plans that empower them to create lasting change, strengthen their resilience to reduce the risk of significant harm, and connect them with appropriate services and networks.

Our
Family Preservation program
delivers targeted, voluntary child protection services to families with children who are at high risk of entering or escalating within the statutory child protection system. The program aims to reduce risks and strengthen families to reduce the number of children entering Out of Home Care.

What you get to do:

  • Conduct comprehensive family assessments to identify strengths, needs, and risks.
  • Develop and implement case plans that empower families to create lasting positive change.
  • Provide intensive home visiting (minimum once per week) and practical, evidence-informed interventions.
  • Maintaining accurate, timely case notes and documentation to meet compliance and reporting standards.
  • Collaborate with other services to ensure families are connected to the right supports.
  • Partner with parents and carers to build safety, stability, and resilience within the home.

'best life
' is unique to everyone and can change as life changes:

  • Salary Benefits
  • You can package up to $18,550 pa of your pre-tax salary to pay for everyday expenses before income tax is calculated, meaning you take home even more pay
  • Work/Life Balance
  • Enjoy flexible work arrangements, including hybrid home/office options, and accrue an additional day off each month (a bonus of 12 days per year) as a full-time employee.
  • Recognition and Reward

  • Wellness
  • Stay fit with a Fitness passport, utilise our Employee Assistance Program, and even purchase additional leave.
  • Professional development -
    We tailor career development opportunities to all employees and volunteers for career enrichment, fulfilment, and growth.
  • Our Reconciliation Commitment -
    Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees are entitled up to 2 days paid plus up to 10 days unpaid cultural leave, as well as the option to be a voice on reference networking groups, the opportunity for cultural and professional development that supports career pathways and your social and emotional wellbeing.

Skills and Experience

  • Tertiary qualification in Social Work, Welfare, Psychology
    or a related discipline (or equivalent industry experience).
  • Experience supporting families with complex needs,
    including working within the child protection system.
  • Proven ability to prioritise competing demands and manage a high-volume caseload.
  • Strong administration and documentation skills, with attention to detail in case notes and reporting.
