We are the specialist family violence service in Melbourne’s Inner and Outer East. We work alongside victim survivors in responding to family violence.
We provide access and initial response services in partnership with other agencies through The Orange Doors in Croydon and Box Hill, and case management services through our support and recovery team in Ringwood. Being part of the solution is important to us. We work to change attitudes to gender equality to prevent violence from happening in the first place and equip the community to respond to disclosures of abuse. We do through our prevention and education work nationally.
We apply an intersectional lens to all of our work. Our approach is trauma informed, strengths based, and person centered. Check out our website for more about us, in particular our most recent Annual Report and our Theory of Change which sets out our plan over the next 7-10 years to work towards a community free from family violence where everyone is safe.
You will provide administrative support to Specialist Family Violence Advocates in the Support and Recovery Team, who work with victim survivors referred through the Orange Door to tailor a support plan for their needs. Alongside practical things like continued risk assessment, safety planning and support to navigate the court system, Advocates work with victim survivors to hold hope, validate experience, and build sense of agency and self-belief.
This role gives you the opportunity to learn about specialist family violence response work and build your skills, capability and confidence through exposure and shadowing opportunities. Many of our Case Support Workers successfully move into future Advocate roles, making this opportunity the perfect career stepping-stone.
We celebrate diversity in all its forms, and welcome interest in our work from people with a range of experiences.
You will be deeply aligned with our values and understand that gender inequality is one of the main drivers of family violence. You’ll be motivated by advocating and upholding the rights of women and children to be safe and free.
You can find more details in the position description. If you have questions, reach out to our People and Culture team at [email protected], using the subject line: Case Support Worker enquiry via EthicalJobs, or on (03) 9259 4200.
A position description is attached.
We believe that the unique contributions of all our people at FVREE create our success. To ensure that our culture and our services continue to incorporate everyone's perspectives and experience, we encourage applications from the LGBTIQA+ community, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, people from diverse cultural backgrounds and people of all abilities.
Due to the gendered nature of family violence, much of our workforce is women, though this is not a requirement for all roles. We never discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, age, or marital, veteran, or disability status.
FVREE is a child-focused and child safe organisation and we are committed to promoting and protecting the safety and interests of children. All appointments with FVREE are subject to a police records check, working with children check and reference checks.
