At Anglicare Victoria our focus is on transforming the futures of children and young people, families and adults. Our work is based on three guiding pillars, Prevent, Protect, Empower. We offer a comprehensive network of services and seek to ensure the provision of high quality services that will bring about significant improvements in the life experience of the young people, children and families/caregivers with whom we work.
Village 21 is a new and innovative accommodation and support model, developed in partnership between Anglicare Victoria and Kids Under Cover. Village 21 is a cluster housing model which offers on-site housing and intensive support to young people aged 18-21 who have had an out of home care experience. The objective of the model is to ensure young people have a positive future and are skilled enough to be independent when they exit the service. Young people at Village 21 are provided with support via volunteer mentors who live on site (Independence Mentors). They also receive assistance, advocacy and education via the Key Practitioner, including 1:1 support and group workshops.
Young people are supported during their stay to develop a range of independent living skills, further develop or re-develop positive relationships with immediate and extended family and connections to the community, and continue participating in employment, education and/or training.
Please Note: It is mandatory for the successful applicant to hold a current Working with Children Check and be prepared to undergo a National Criminal History Check prior to commencement.
