About The Organisation:

The Centre for Non-Violence (CNV) is a leading, specialist family violence organisation based in the Loddon region. Guided by feminist principles and a strong commitment to social justice, gender equity, safety and respect, we work towards a vision of gender and social equality for all.

CNV is committed to creating inclusive and accessible services and workplaces, and we recognise the value of lived experience, diversity and different ways of working.

About The Role:

CNV is offering a full-time ongoing role (1.0 FTE, 38 hours per week) based in Bendigo. As Team Leader, you will coach and mentor practitioners, oversee workflows and risk responses, and ensure practice is grounded in evidence based frameworks, feminist principles and regulatory standards.

• Highly developed communication, collaboration and relationship-building strengths.
• Experience working across multidisciplinary or systems based environments, with confidence building shared understanding and coordinated responses.
• A commitment to feminist practice, cultural safety, inclusion and continuous improvement.

Most importantly, you are motivated by making a difference, building on people’s strengths and creating the conditions for teams to do their best work.
