Jesuit Social Services is a social change organisation working to build a just society where all people can live to their full potential. We reflect on the critical factors shaping our contemporary world; the social, political and economic contexts, and we adapt our practice to work with those most in need.
Since 1977, Jesuit Social Services has provided services to some of the most disadvantaged in our community.
We place a high priority on advocacy and are a leader in policy development and research.
The Therapeutic Counsellor and Project Development role is responsible for the implementation, delivery and refinement of an early intervention project working with young people at risk of using violence. The role requires excellent knowledge of, and experience in, delivering trauma-informed therapeutic group work with at-risk young people, and professional development of the staff that support them.
This role will suit a candidate with the following skills and experience:
The Men’s Project is an initiative of Jesuit Social Services launched in 2017. It provides leadership on the reduction of violence and other harmful behaviours prevalent among boys and men and builds approaches to improve their wellbeing and keep families and communities safe.
Our vision is for good men, respectful relationships and safe communities.
The Men’s Project builds on Jesuit Social Services’ 40-years engagement with boys and men in trouble, but it also involves us leading new work to reduce violence, to improve the wellbeing of boys and men, and to keep families and communities safe.
Applications will be reviewed on an ongoing basis and the closing date may be subject to change without notice.
