The Department of Children and Families (DCF) is a multi-functional human
services and community-focused agency that works to provide responsive, safe
and quality services and programs that empower communities and improve
social outcomes for all Territorians.
As a frontline Remote Services Practitioner (P1/P2) under the direction of the
Team Leader, you form part of a dedicated team of professionals delivering
integrated statutory and non-statutory welfare services to vulnerable children
and families in communities. Depending upon your professional experience your
duties may include assessing individual, family and community issues, applying
appropriate methods of intervention, delivering case work and case
management services, undertaking statutory responsibilities and exercising
delegations under the Care and Protection of Children Act.
In addition to the above, Team Leaders Remote Services (P3) head and
supervise a team of professional and remote safety support staff in the delivery
of integrated statutory and non-statutory services and safety services to
vulnerable children, families and groups residing in remote communities. It is a
great opportunity to develop a team culture in a diverse role.
To be successful, it is essential you have completed a tertiary qualification
which gives eligibility for membership of the Australian Association of Social
Workers, Australian Community Workers Association or the Australian
Psychological Society or equivalent. Your strong understanding of the principles
and functions of delivering statutory and non-statutory welfare services,
conducting strength-based assessments, developing and delivering effective
interventions, and demonstrated capacity to interpret and apply complex
legislation will contribute to your success in the role. In addition, you will have
demonstrated knowledge and understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander culture, family and community structures, with the ability to
communicate and work in a culturally safe manner.
In return, you will be rewarded with an attractive remuneration package
including 12% Superannuation, 6 weeks recreational and 3 weeks personal
leave, additional 3 days paid leave over Christmas, 17.5% annual leave
allowance, generous market and retention allowances, support to grow and
develop your career, and the unique opportunity to experience the variety of
working in the Top End and Arnhem region.
If you reside outside the territory, this is a great time to consider relocating to
work in a remote community.
This is your chance to make a real difference to the lives of Territorians, both
young and young at heart and experience an array of what the NT has to offer,
including a rich-multi-cultural society and unique communities. Relocation
assistance may be available.
