Project Officer - Housing Families

Orana House Inc

The East Corridor women’s family and domestic violence services wish to engage with socially responsible commercial businesses in a collaborative approach to address homelessness as a result of family and domestic violence. The aim will be to address the barriers that are preventing families to move on from crisis accommodation into safe, secure medium and long-term housing in the private rental market.

The Housing Families Project Officer will be employed by Orana who will manage the project on behalf of the corridor.

The role of the Housing Families Project Officer will be to facilitate and manage this project through the careful development of relationships with key stakeholders including women who have experienced FDV, staff working in the East Corridor FDV services and identified Real Estate Agents and Landlords. The project aims to increase the understanding of real estate agents and landlords to the needs of women and children who have experienced family and domestic violence in order to increase the number of successful tenancies.

This will be done through research and consultation, developing questionnaires and data collection tools, attitude surveys, educational materials, evaluation tools, facilitating focus groups and workshop presentations, written recommendations and reports.

We are seeking an energetic and organised individual with a passion to advocate for women and an engaging communication style to drive this project forward.

This is a 9 days per fortnight role based at our offices in Noranda and working across the southeast metropolitan area of Perth.

The successful candidate will need to be able to demonstrate:

  • Understanding and commitment to the rights and interests of women experiencing family violence
  • Strong communication skills both written and verbal including development of educational materials and reports and the facilitation of focus groups and workshops
  • Ability to work in a culturally appropriate way whilst advocating for clients and their needs
  • Excellent time management skills with the ability to work independently, manage competing priorities and report outcomes in a timely manner
  • Ability to build and maintain effective working relationships across a range of internal and external stakeholders
