About our Organisation
Djirra is an Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation with over 20 years’ experience accompanying Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women, and their children, on their individual journeys. We find solutions through Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women sharing their stories, journeys, and experiences. Djirra celebrates women’s strength and resilience. We are committed to a future without family violence.
About the role
The Individual Support Services (ISS) team is seeking a full time Intake and Assessment Worker (part time 0.8FTE will be considered for the right candidate.) The team provides intensive support services to Aboriginal women who are experiencing or have experienced family violence and are at risk of further harm. The Intake and Assessment team is the first point of call for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Women when they contact Djirra in person, via the phone or email. The Intake and Assessment Workers work collaboratively using a client-centred approach, through a trauma-informed lens to undertake a needs assessment and family violence risk screening and assessment. They work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women to identify their needs, provide immediate and short-term responses, and direct them to the right services (eg. internal supports such as material aid, case management, legal services and counselling or connection with our Koori Women’s Place (KWP), as well as referral to external agencies).
Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people are encouraged to apply.
