We're looking for an experienced and compassionate leader to join our Early Intervention leadership team as Coordinator – Family Support & Creative Parenting Spaces.

Your leadership will directly influence the quality of support families receive while mentoring and developing a multidisciplinary team of Caseworkers, Early Childhood Facilitators and Supported Playgroup Facilitators who make a difference every single day.

Together, you'll help families build confidence, strengthen relationships and create brighter futures for children during the most important years of their development.

What you’ll be doing:

• Leading, coaching and developing a high-performing multidisciplinary team through reflective supervision and practice leadership.
• Creating a psychologically safe culture where people feel supported, valued and empowered to grow.
• Overseeing quality casework, parenting programs, supported playgroups and early intervention services that achieve meaningful outcomes for families.
• Building strong partnerships with community organisations, schools, government agencies and local stakeholders.
• Driving culturally safe, inclusive practice that supports Aboriginal, CALD and refugee families.
• Supporting innovation through evidence-based early intervention models and continuous improvement.
• Managing referrals, program performance, reporting requirements and funding outcomes.
• Working alongside the Early Intervention leadership team to strengthen services across the region.

• Strong experience in early intervention, family support, child protection or community services.
• Confidence providing clinical supervision, mentoring staff and developing practice capability.
• Experience building collaborative partnerships across government and community sectors.
• Knowledge of child protection legislation, mandatory reporting and trauma-informed practice.
