The Department of Families, Fairness and Housing (DFFH) works hard to create equal opportunities for all Victorians to live a safe, respected and valued life.
We work in a variety of community-based settings, including people's homes, residential facilities and secure settings across metropolitan, rural and regional Victoria.
We are committed to developing and supporting a workforce that is well equipped and highly motivated. All jobs can be worked flexibly, and we encourage applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and people from diverse backgrounds and abilities.
THE ROLE
Located in the Placement Support Planning Unit North Metro, this innovative position will drive positive changes and enhance the life outcomes for children and young people. The Placement and Support Planning Unit provides a range of specialist knowledge and expertise to assist area-based service delivery teams.
The Kinship Engagement Worker, supervised by the Kinship Engagement Coordinator, will work under the model of kinship care which was rolled out across Victoria in March 2018. In this role you will promote placement stability by providing ongoing and flexible support to kinship placements, and conduct kinship finding activities to identify potential kinship or respite options, or mentors for children and young people subject to child protection intervention.
The kinship care model includes dedicated kinship practitioners employed by the department. There is additional investment to provide better support to placements from commencement and identifying the needs of carers, children and young people.
The Kinship Engagement Workers and the Kinship Engagement Coordinators have a significant role in the continued implementation and embedding of the model of kinship care in the North Metro area. The Kinship Engagement Worker may undertake the initial search for a child or young person's extended family network, and promote placement quality and stability.
