The position can be based in our Burnie or Devonport office. If you are looking for a tree-change, you can’t go past Tasmania’s rugged North-West Coast.

Our Therapeutic Residential Care Service provides support to young people 12 years to 18 years referred by Child Protection Services, who require placement in a residential setting. It seeks to provide a healing environment and experiences for young people, which supports and assists them to overcome many of the challenges which they may have encountered in their life.

About the role:

You will have day to day responsibility for all Inspire@HOME program activities across the region, such as therapeutic residential care placements, transitional-short term placements, independent living placements and outreach. You will oversee rostering and staff management to all Inspire@HOME employee’s in the region. You will undertake regular assessments and reviews of young people (residents) within each house; plus ensure a smooth transition into and out of the program for any young person, performance monitoring and support of teams and resource management.
