Work for an organisation as unique as you are...

Here you are. Another day, another lockdown. Work is OK, your colleagues are nice, but you're keeping your eyes open for new job opportunities. You're still very ambitious, you want something else, you're looking for new energy, in yourself and in an organisation. Which is great, as an experienced worker in Community Services, you are exactly who we're looking for!

Welcome to Anglicare NSW South, West & ACT. Our core mission is to break the cycle of intergenerational poverty for children, young people and families. We have a particular focus on serving vulnerable communities in the ACT and regional, rural NSW. We are deeply invested in our team and our community, together we can heal and thrive and this is where you come in.

As our Carer Support Practitioner, your natural ability to form a rapport with those from different cultural backgrounds and abilities to connect with our carers and young people are the exact skills you will need to succeed in this role. You will implement strategies to engage the local community to promote and attract new foster carers to our organisation. Managing the assessment and review of foster and kinship carers will be crucial to ensure they are able to provide therapeutic parenting to children and young people.
