Family Violence Counsellor Grampians Community Health

JOB DESCRIPTION

About the position

The Family Violence Counsellor will work alongside a Uniting Wimmera counsellor to provide timely and appropriate therapeutic interventions and support services to improve the safety, emotional health and wellbeing of adult victim survivors of family violence, and children as victim survivors in their own right. 

The Family Violence Counsellor will work from a trauma informed, feminist lens, and work towards enhancing an individual or family’s safety, confidence, self-esteem and recovery from family violence. 

The target group is highly isolated adults, children and young people, who are victim survivors of family violence, and require additional support to therapeutically recover from their experience of family violence. 

The Family Violence Counsellor will provide outreach counselling services to isolated towns within the Wimmera region. Flexibility will be built in to enable outreach to cluster sites of small rural localities as needed.
