About Women & Children First

Women & Children First (W&CF) is a community-based, not-for-profit organisation supporting women, children and families. We provide crisis accommodation, transitional housing, outreach support and specialist casework for those at imminent risk of homelessness — particularly women and children escaping domestic and family violence. Our two refuges and specialist support services are based on Sydney's Northern Beaches and Lower North Shore.

Our work also extends beyond crisis response, offering family support programs that help carers navigate parenting challenges and other big life events such as separation and grief. Through our education and prevention initiatives, we also empower communities to recognise, prevent and respond to domestic and family violence.

As a child-safe organisation, W&CF is committed to the safety, wellbeing, and rights of children, ensuring their voices are heard and their needs are always prioritised.

About the role

As a Child and Young Person Specialist Caseworker, you would work within the Specialist Homelessness Service and Outreach team, providing direct support to children at imminent risk of homelessness, many of whom are survivors of domestic and family violence. Working from trauma-informed and strengths-based approach, you will undertake assessments, develop tailored case plans, and coordinate services that promote safety and stability.

You will work collaboratively with other caseworkers, the wider W&CF team, partner services, and the community sector to uphold the rights of women, children, and families to safety, housing, and support. Through your role, you will ensure equitable access to essential services, and advocate for systemic change. You will walk alongside clients as they navigate crisis, assert their rights, and rebuild their lives with dignity and safety.

You will also lead a small internal team focusing on child safety within our programs ensuring that children have a voice in our advocacy and service design.

This position is offered as a 6 -month fixed-term contract - SCHADs Level 5 - over four days.

You can work collaboratively with colleagues, partner agencies, and the community to deliver holistic support, while maintaining a commitment to safety, dignity, and empowerment for all clients.
You thrive in a dynamic, complex environment and are committed to continuous learning, reflective practice, and contributing to positive change at both the individual and systemic level.
You are skilled at working across diverse cultural and social contexts, and you are deeply committed to creating and maintaining a child-safe environment in everything you do.

Tertiary qualifications in Social Work, Psychology, Social Sciences or a related field.
Minimum two years’ (desired) experience in a similar role working with children on a group and individual basis.
Demonstrated experience supporting women and families impacted by trauma, domestic and family violence, and/or homelessness.
Strong capability in assessment, case planning and delivering client-centred support in crisis or high-risk situations.

Understanding of intersectional practice, including work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families, culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities and LGBTQIA+ young people.
