Illawarra Aboriginal Corporation (IAC) is a large successful Aboriginal-owned and operated, Not-for-Profit service provider in the Illawarra. The IAC is dedicated to meeting the social, cultural and economic needs of Aboriginal people within the Illawarra. The organisation currently delivers housing, aged care, child care, employment and training, emergency relief and child, youth and family services.
The IAC child, youth and family service Myimbarr is a designated agency, authorised by the NSW Office of the Children’s Guardian to provide statutory out-of-home care services in NSW and a funded service provider delivering programs on behalf of NSW Family and Community Services to the Aboriginal community.
Due to service expansion the IAC is seeking suitably qualified and/or experienced Aboriginal Caseworkers to support Aboriginal children, their carers and birth families within the Myimbarr PSP. Caseworkers work in conjunction with a dedicated team and clinical staff to support stable permanent options for children that enter the program. As the role will have direct contact with birth families, children and carers we require flexible people who can work some evenings when required to meet the goals of PSP.
It is a mandatory requirement for this position to have a Working with Children Check, National Criminal Check and current NSW Driver's licence.
These are Aboriginal Identified Positions - authorised under the S14d of the NSW Anti Discrimination Act 1977
