Roma, Australia Save The Children Full time

Every person has the right to live in safety, and yet domestic and family violence is a regular occurrence in Australia. Help us do our part to change this reality in Brisbane. 54 reasons is one of the largest providers of DFV refuge services in Queensland – be part of this dynamic network of teams working together to deliver high quality support.

54 reasons is Australia’s leading child rights organisation – no ordinary not-for-profit.    

A place where your purpose matters. Proudly part of the Save the Children Australia Group and global movement, we’re here to make sure that children and young people have their rights met and thrive, in all their diversity. 

With the child’s voice at the centre, we provide quality services to children and their caregivers, advocating with them so that children develop, learn, and are connected, safe and confident. Our people are proudly local, reflective of the communities we serve - in every state and territory, and across regions, remote areas and capital cities. 

It takes all types of personalities and talents to drive our organisation– yours included. We value a healthy work-life balance and ensure our people feel connected to each other and our impact. Learn from inspiring people and grow from a connection to our strong local and global networks. From our programs to our support services - this is the place to realise your purpose.  

A place to make a difference:  

Here you’re empowered to make a difference in children’s lives by learning, sharing and collaborating to find new ways to solve problems.   

In this fulltime, permanent role, you’ll work within a team to provide case management and safety planning support to women and children who are escaping or experiencing domestic violence, within the refuge accommodation program and outreach role. The role attracts some minimal rostered on-call responsibilities, and report to the Team Leader.

The role is full time (38 hours per week), but we are also open to people who only have part time availability.

You will make a difference by:

  • Facilitating the provision of safe accommodation to women and children escaping domestic and family violence
  • Conducting thorough risk and needs assessments, within a trauma informed case management framework
  • Working with families to source appropriate, safe and sustainable accommodation free from violence and/or connecting families with services to meet their needs

A place to feel valued:

You’re an experienced domestic and family violence practitioner with high levels of initiative and flexibility alongside cultural sensitivity and knowledge. You’re able to respond calmly and effectively in crisis and complex situations. Importantly, you possess a thorough understanding of the impact of domestic violence on women and children and are able to apply that within a trauma-informed practice framework.

We recognise your contribution and provide you the support to ensure you can bring your best, knowing here you have the space and opportunity to grow.  

Bringing your best every day, means: 

  • Demonstrated experience in case management and knowledge of relevant legislation
  • Knowledge and understanding of domestic and family violence, including the impact on children
  • Demonstrated experience working with families from diverse cultural backgrounds
  • Strong teamwork and communication skills
  • Current drivers’ licence
  • Tertiary qualification in a relevant field and/or significant experience in a similar service

A place to belong:  

54 Reasons is proudly part of Save the Children Australia. We are a learning organisation that invests in the development and wellbeing of our people. Our workforce is approximately 1100 people strong, and proudly diverse, whether in race, ethnicity, gender, age, disability, sexuality, cultures and beliefs.

We see and celebrate the unique value you bring to our organisation, and offer a range of rewards for your effort, including:
