Description

Working within a multidisciplinary team, you will draw on your personal experience and knowledge of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander traditions and customs to provide high quality, culturally safe and appropriate child protection services to children, families and carers serviced by the Child Safety Service Centre.

You will have a clear focus on the provision of culturally appropriate services, and will use your own cultural expertise and knowledge to foster respectful relationships with communities and enhance positive relationships between children/young people and their families.

You will share your cultural knowledge and contribute to growing the department's cultural capability.


Key Duties and Responsibilites:


  • Effectively and positively engage with children, families, carers and service providers (including both government and nongovernment agencies) to support the cultural needs of children and families to achieve their identified case plan goals and cultural support plan goals.
  • Work collaboratively with key stakeholders, including children and parents, families and Recognised Entities to support the establishment and strengthening of effective safety and support networks, including connection to extended family, community, country and culture.
  • Provide high quality cultural advice and direction to assist in informing decisions about the safety needs of children, particularly where complex child protection worries are present.
  • Participate effectively and provide cultural leadership in a multidisciplinary team to deliver wellplanned and culturally appropriate family support services to children and families experiencing vulnerability.
  • Prepare and maintain quality case records in accordance with departmental case management requirements.
  • Contribute to strengthening workforce cultural capability through sharing your cultural advice, knowledge of communities, and awareness of culturally significant processes and events.

Delegations:


The nature of regional service delivery requires that close collaborative relationships will also be established with non-government organisations and other government agencies within the community and broader region.

This role is an authorised officer under the Child Protection Act 1999 and has a range of statutory delegations (where applicable).
