Family Practitioner (IFS)
The KWY Family Practitioner is an experienced clinician responsible for delivering culturally responsive, trauma‑informed interventions to Aboriginal children, young people, and their families. The Practitioner contributes to service quality, safety, and the effective distribution of supports that respond to community needs.
The Practitioner conducts comprehensive risk assessments, implements safety planning, and provides intensive and complex case management, advocacy, and therapeutic intervention. Engagement occurs across multiple settings, including phone contact, home visits, and community‑based environments, often within a multidisciplinary team working with adults and adolescents.
The successful applicant will demonstrate strong clinical skills, relevant experience, and sound child protection knowledge, including working with Aboriginal families experiencing domestic and family violence and child protection concerns. The Practitioner will work collaboratively with the Department for Child Protection (DCP) and other statutory and non‑statutory partners to support coordinated and safe outcomes.
Support Facilitator – Post Care
The Post Care service is run in partnership with Relationships Australia South Australia to provide support for young people who have been under the guardianship of the Chief Executive of the Department for Child Protection. The service aims to provide short-term case management to help young people to move successfully into independence and reach their full potential. The Support Facilitator assists young people ageing out of the child protection system, to transition to independent living, with a focus on access to practical support and living skills. They help young people map their needs and concerns, plan their life trajectory, and engage natural helpers. They do this through case management and support coordination, including screening and assessment, goal setting, referrals, advocacy, brief counselling and facilitating client led decision making processes.
