Windermere is a community services organisation working for those with varied and complex needs, and we truly believe that everyone is someone in our community.
Join us at Windermere. Where we make the effort to understand every individual employee, what matters to them and recognise the value that each person contributes. Empowering them to grow and work in ways that bring out their whole and best self.
We celebrate our diverse range of perspectives, people and ideas and there has never been a better time to join!
Our dedicated Victim Assistance Program (VAP) assists individuals with their management of the impact of crime. Through the provision of consumer focussed case management services, we promote recovery and minimise secondary victimisation sometimes experienced in the criminal justice systems. We are experts in this space and on the verge of expansion - we currently support 3,000 consumers each year and this will grow as we expand into new regions.
This is a Part-Time (3 days per week) 6 Month Fixed Term Parental Leave Contract to February 2025.
The Aboriginal Engagement Worker (AEW):
This is an Aboriginal designated position, therefore only Aboriginal people are encouraged to apply.
Trauma has been endured by Aboriginal people for generations, as a result of colonisation and the dispossession of land and culture and is deeply rooted in communities. Aboriginal Engagement Workers (AEWs) help to mitigate the impacts of crime on Aboriginal victims and aid their recovery by providing practical assistance and access to therapeutic support. AEWs also provide victims with information and support to engage with the criminal justice system.
AEWs will be co-located with ACCOs for a minimum of one day per week. In some circumstances (e.g. on advice of the AEW or relevant ACCO), the AEW may also be co-located at other community organisations across the region. As a VAP employee, AEWs will be supported by a Team Leader and will work with management to develop and continuously improve the VAP.
This is where we stand out from the crowd! Windermere offers staff a wide range of unique benefits beyond the salary.
