At Anglicare Victoria our focus is on transforming the futures of children and young people, families and adults. Our work is based on three guiding pillars, Prevent, Protect, Empower. We offer a comprehensive network of services and seek to ensure the provision of high quality services that will bring about significant improvements in the life experience of the young people, children and families/caregivers with whom we work.
The Anglicare Child and Family Information and Referral Support Team (Child FIRST) supports families referred from professionals, families and organisations who contact Child FIRST when they have concerns about the safety and wellbeing of children and young people. Child FIRST provides information and advice, conducts initial assessments and refers families to the supports they need. The aim of the program is to increase the safety and wellbeing of children and young people while in the care of their families, and prevent them from entering the child protection system.
The position requires flexible and innovative interventions to address the families needs to support their safety and wellbeing. This Child FIRST team covers the outer-east catchment (Yarra Ranges, Maroondah and Knox local government areas) and sits alongside a range of teams within the broader Family Services Program.
