Youth Family Violence Peer Worker - Melbourne, Australia - Melbourne City Mission
Description
Summary
About the program
The first of its kind in Australia, Amplify will build and deliver a dedicated family violence response for young people in their own right, addressing a systemic gap that has led to young people escaping violence on their own and surviving through a range of often unseen and unsafe means. The Amplify pilot will provide youth specific family violence case management for young people aged 15-19 with complex family violence risk that cannot be managed within specialist family violence services or child and family services. The Amplify pilot has been shaped by the lived experiences and insights of young victim-survivors of family violence and has risen from the Amplify Project: Turning up the Volume on Young People and Family Violence.
About the role
The role of Peer Worker will be to work collaboratively with the Amplify Family Violence Practitioners to guide and support young people to feel safe within the homelessness and family violence systems, identify family violence in their own experiences, and advocate and engage within and to the service sector. This role will also support the development and inform best practice of the Amplify pilot program, as well as contribute to better outcomes for young people presenting to Frontyard by using your unique and individual knoweldge and lived experience to build better practice, innovation, and capability.
We are seeking applicants who have a qualification in Peer Work, Youth Work, Community Development or a related community services field. A lived experience of the family violence system as a young person, preferably in Victoria, is also essential. A clear understanding of the key issues affecting people with multiple and complex needs, incluyding mental ill-health, homelessness, disability, alcohol and other drug use, and social connection is desireable.
Skills and experience
