About the role and where you will be working

Based at Moree Community Health Service, you’ll join the Hunter New England Violence, Abuse and Neglect (VAN) Service as part of a safe, supportive and highly team-oriented workplace.

Working closely with the Aboriginal Health Unit, Sexual Assault Counsellors, Social Workers and other health professionals, you’ll build strong relationships with Aboriginal children, individuals, families and communities. You’ll provide culturally safe, trauma-informed support, advocacy, case coordination and community education.

No two days will be the same. You may support families in crisis, develop safety plans and connect people with essential services, or work alongside local organisations at community events, delivering prevention, early intervention and health promotion.

You’ll have the autonomy to work independently while being supported by an experienced, collaborative team that values cultural knowledge, respect, kindness and strong partnerships with Aboriginal communities.

You’ll bring a culturally safe, strengths-based and trauma-informed approach, with a willingness to learn and work within a healing framework.

You’ll be someone who:

• Builds genuine relationships and enjoys getting out and connecting with community.
• Is comfortable having a cuppa and a yarn, listening and building trust.
