Amber Community (Formerly Road Trauma Support Services Victoria) is looking for experienced group facilitators in various locations for venues across Victoria. People in the following areas are encouraged to apply; Traralgon, Echuca, Mildura, Watsonia and Frankston. Our programs predominantly work with people at risk of or have traffic-related offences and preventative programs addressing road safety.

Work is casual and we are looking for a mix of people who can work within the normal 9-5 time slots, evenings or a Saturday.

These positions require people to have experience working with groups that create conversations. As these programs are brief interventions, group facilitators need to create a safe space quickly to allow participants to openly share their driving behaviour and work on ways to prevent risky driving.

The road trauma/safety programs aim to bring about attitude and behavioural change and reduce risky driving recidivism. They are based on restorative justice principles and employ a cognitive behavioural approach using both volunteer speakers with personal experiences of trauma and presenters from the emergency services. The program aims are to:

• Confront and evaluate participant belief systems regarding traffic-related offending
• Bring about a shift from blame to choice
• Assist participants in identifying and managing precursors to offending
• Provide peer discussion and problem-solving
• Provide reality-based learning using lived experience speakers

Training will be provided at a date to be determined.
