About the Program

CatholicCare NT (CCNT) is a not-for-profit organisation providing social services and programs to individuals, couples, families, children, groups, schools, and agencies across the Northern Territory. CCNT’s Men’s Domestic and Family Violence (DFV) programs include the Men’s Behaviour Change Program (MBCP) in Darwin and Wadeye, Co-Responder Program (CR) in Darwin as well as court support for men who use violence in their relationships in Darwin and Katherine. The primary goal of these programs is to ensure the safety of women and children.

The MBCP and CR operate out of Darwin. The MBCP provides outreach to the Darwin Correctional Centre, Wadeye, and the Tiwi Islands. The programs are designed to support men who are engaging in violent, abusive, or controlling behaviours, helping them to change these behaviours through group sessions and individual case management. Participants receive education, strategies, support, and referrals to other services. The MBCP team also collaborates with NT Legal Aid to provide social support for men in the court space who are impacted by Domestic and Family Violence (DFV). These program aims to prevent violence and promote healthier, more respectful relationships.

About the Role

The MBCP Team Leader is responsible for the leadership and delivery of CCNT’s Darwin MBCP, Co-responder model and Men’s Court Support Programs in Darwin and Katherine. This position has a particular focus on leading and supervising program staff, applying professional knowledge and support, supporting quality practice development and continuous improvement. A key aspect of the role is ensuring a collaborative and integrated approach with associated women’s support services and other CCNT services to mitigate risk and keep those using violence in view. Program portfolios may be subject to change within the contract period.

• Relevant qualifications in Social Work, Welfare Studies or Men’s Family Violence with substantial experience in a similar role.
