So many lives. So many ways. One you.

50,000 lives and counting.

That’s how many South Australians our people support each year.

As one of the state’s leading not-for-profits, we’re making a meaningful impact at scale. From foster care to aged care and everything in between, our services are as diverse as the people and communities we serve - and we’re growing our reach for the future.

It takes a special kind of person to work in this sector. Someone with real compassion and care. Could that person be you?

Join us as an Assessment Worker, and be part of something bigger.

What you’ll do

As an Assessment Worker in Foster Care, you will play a vital role in shaping the future of children and young people in South Australia. You will conduct competency and strengths-based assessments with prospective foster carers, ensuring they are equipped to provide trauma-informed, culturally responsive care. Your work will directly support families in understanding the assessment process and help to build their knowledge and capacity to meet the diverse needs of children in care.

You'll be part of a team committed to cultural safety and inclusion, working closely with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) families. Your expertise will help ensure every child's identity, safety, and kinship connections are respected and nurtured.

This is a full-time, ongoing position based at our Head Office in Hindmarsh, with travel across Adelaide.

You’ll be trusted to make a valuable impact by:

Conducting competency-based assessments using approved tools to evaluate foster care applicants
Supporting families to understand and navigate the assessment process with empathy & clarity
Ensuring cultural safety and responsiveness in all interactions
Collaborating with specialists to ensure best outcomes for children and young people
Recommending applications for approval or non-approval based on thorough, trauma-informed evaluations

What you’ll bring

To thrive in this role, you will have:

A tertiary qualification in Social Work
Extensive knowledge of the Child Protection sector, including relevant legislation and compliance frameworks & exceptional writing skills
Demonstrated experience conducting competency-based assessments

We would also love you to have:

ACWA Step by Step Accreditation or the ability to meet accreditation requirements

Why AnglicareSA?

Here’s what you can expect in your career at AnglicareSA:

So many lives, right here in SA: Our ripple effect starts with you. Whatever your role, you’ll help find a way forward for the communities you live in and care about. That’s something to be proud of.
So many ways, for our clients and you: We support those in need in so many ways. For you, that means real opportunity to gain new knowledge and experiences and to explore the many pathways a career in our sector can take.
So much compassion, and a place to belong: At AnglicareSA, you’ll never feel alone. You’ll lean on and learn from genuine people driven to do good, and you’ll build relationships that last a lifetime.

More to enjoy:

Make your pay go further with salary packaging options, including novated leasing, plus savings on health insurance, motor vehicles, opticians, pharmacy and gym memberships
Find a better balance with flexible work options, including working from home, part-time work, compressed working weeks and flexible working hours for some roles
Grow your skills and career with learning programs, professional development pathways, and education assistance
Live and work well with our employee wellbeing program, confidential employee assistance program, chaplaincy services, domestic and family violence support, and more
