About the role

About the role

This is not your average role, so let me explain. It's a full-time job where you will be part of a transformative short-term treatment foster care team to care for a child or young person aged 7-17 in your own home for around 9 months.

You will be responsible for:

- Providing positive reinforcement for the child or young person in a home environment.
- Follow an exact program of care and be closely supervised and guided by the OzChild care team, which includes a therapist, skills coach, teacher and supervisor.
- Providing a loving and caring home, routine, and pass on basic life skills.

About you

You are a Permanent Resident of Australia from all different religions and backgrounds, young, old, with their own kids, without kids, empty nesters, everyone from the LGBTQIA+ community, etc.

You will also have:

- A suitable living space, including a spare bedroom.
- No children under five years old living in the home.
- A solid support network and a good sense of humour.
- Live within the service area in the southeastern suburbs. Click here to view the service area.
- Be willing to undergo thorough screening processes and assessment interviews.

What's in it for you?

This is a great opportunity to make a difference in a young person's life by helping to sculpt a successful path for a child who needs a structured and therapeutic environment.
- You will be paid a tax-free allowance of $6,250 per month, and you might also be eligible for Family Tax Benefit A&B.
- Be a part of a program that helps children develop the skills they need to thrive at home, in school, and in the community.
- Receive comprehensive initial and ongoing training and guidance.
- You will have 24/7 on-call support, daily phone calls and weekly carer support meetings.
