We are looking for compassionate people that can be positive role models, give emotional support and are capable of building trust and rapport with staff and young people within our Flexible Funding Packages – Children, Youth and Family Services Program.
This is a Casual opportunity based in Footscray, VIC.
Flexible Funding Packages, including Targeted Care Packages (TCPs), are an allocation of funding attached to a specific child or young person based on an assessment of that child’s needs. TCPs aim to enable the transition of the child from residential care into an alternate living arrangement where their experience of care is more positive, and their needs better met. TCPs provide flexibility to personalise supports to the individual needs of children and their carers assisting in alternate placements outside of residential care such as; family reunification, kinship, home-based care, lead tenant or independent living.
The TCP Key Worker is responsible for the ongoing implementation and overarching case management responsibility of these packages.
The TCP Key Worker will play a pivotal role in the achievement of better outcomes, consistent with the case plan directions and any cultural support plan for children and young people receiving a TCP.
