Windermere is one of the largest and fastest growing independent community services in Melbourne’s South-East and Gippsland Region. Since our foundation in 1992, we have been working to create a strong, more connected and supported community. We get in early to find the right solutions for the many and varied complex issues faced by children, families and individuals.
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 Victims Assistance Program 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.
As the Victim Support Worker, you will respond to victims of violent crime, provide information and advice, assist them to navigate the justice system, and refer to specialist services as required.
You will also liaise with other victim services including Family Violence and Sexual Assault Services. Success will be achieved when victims feel empowered, receive a tailored service according to their goals and focused on their individual safety and recovery.
A Driver Licence is essential as you’ll provide both outreach and remote services to your consumers.
All expertise levels will be considered and rewarded accordingly, however experience with family violence is essential!
This is where we stand out from the crowd! Windermere offers staff a wide range of unique benefits beyond the salary!
