Building trusting, therapeutic relationships with children and young people
Maintaining accurate and timely case notes, incident reports and documentation
Working collaboratively with families, guardians and professionals to support care plans
Ensuring the safety and wellbeing of children at all times

What you will bring to the role:

Strong communication, problem-solving and interpersonal skills
High emotional intelligence and resilience in complex environments
Commitment to providing consistent, high-quality care
Ability to accurately document and follow care plans
Understanding of, or willingness to learn, trauma-informed and therapeutic approaches
Current CPR & First Aid, Victorian Working with Children Check (Employee), NDIS Worker Screening Check & completion of the NDIS Workers Orientation Module (or willingness to obtain)
Victorian Driver's Licence
Certificate IV in Child, Youth and Family Intervention, or a recognised relevant human services qualification with completion of the mandatory Residential Care Skill Set (four top-up units), or willingness to obtain these as required

You will be part of a team that celebrates individuality, fosters belonging and creates opportunities to learn and grow.

Above award rates with generous shift allowances
Additional leave entitlements including personal, compassionate, and family and domestic violence leave for permanent staff
Access to up to $15,900 in salary packaging, boosting your take-home pay
Ongoing training and personal development opportunities
Extensive two-day induction program
