The Tangentyere Safe House (Ndarndarinjika Safe Houses) provides short term crisis accommodation for Aboriginal children between the ages of 0-12 years old, including respite care. Working from a child-centred approach, the aim of the program is to ensure that young people are supported therapeutically through the safe provision of a physically, emotionally, and culturally appropriate family environment. The program recognises continued connection to family and culture as integral to a child’s identity and has cultural safety as a fundamental principle of its service provision.
This position is responsible for the day-to-day support for Aboriginal children in our care. The primary focus of this role is to ensure the children are supported through a physically, emotionally, and culturally safe family environment. Safe House Carers work on a roster system within a home care setting and are required to attend to all aspects of the house whilst on duty, with a primary focus on the care and supervision of all children residing in our houses.
As part of your role, you will be working with children, people with a disability, and people who are vulnerable. It is your obligation to always ensure their safety and report any concerns in line with our duty of care obligations. We have zero tolerance when it comes to abuse of any kind and will take disciplinary action, including termination of employment, should we determine that abuse has taken place or there has been a failure to report any suspected or alleged abuse.
This position involves out-of-hours work, including evenings and weekends.
