ABOUT YOUR ORGANISATION

We are the peak body for Victorian Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations delivering family, child, and care services. As a peak body providing the opportunity to work across the breadth of our membership in Victoria, you will support the organisations, work alongside key stakeholders and advocate to improve outcomes so that Aboriginal children have every opportunity to thrive and be raised safely in Aboriginal families and communities.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Project Lead will coordinate the development of an Aboriginal-led model of kinship care in collaboration with members. The role involves conducting thorough literature review, policy analyses, and managing the co-design process with members. This role will involve working with ACCOs and our goal is to investigate how a self-determined, Aboriginal-led model of care would look in practice and how this would improve outcomes for Aboriginal children and families.

ABOUT YOU

Do you have the ability to generate new ideas; draw on a range of information sources including Aboriginal approaches to identify new ways of doing things; actively influencing and promoting ideas; and translating creative ideas into ACCOs work? Previous experience in residential care, out of home care or family services, project management and/or facilitation is desired.

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS

VACYPA offer salary packaging, flexible work arrangements, including work from home and opportunities for professional development. We are a small, dedicated team who live and work across regional Victoria. We work directly with Aboriginal organisations to make a difference in their communities.
