A relevant tertiary qualification in an allied health discipline
Current AHPRA registration, AASW membership, or membership with a relevant governing body
Demonstrated experience working therapeutically with children and young people in OOHC, trauma, or child protection settings
Strong knowledge of trauma-informed care, attachment theory, and therapeutic frameworks such as CARE
Experience in assessment, therapeutic planning, and behaviour support
The ability to coach, mentor, and build capability within teams
Strong understanding of legislative and policy frameworks relevant to OOHC in the Northern Territory

You will also hold or be willing to obtain:
