What does your role entail?
As a permanency support program caseworker, I work with children, carers and natural families to support the day to day care of children in out of home care. We aim to keep children connected to family and culture, whilst ensuring they are having positive relationships with their foster families, and all their needs are met.

 

We work closely with our clinical team and our wellbeing team to provide children with therapeutic support and opportunities. Caseworkers are able to get involved in Wellbeing activities such as Kids Club and holiday programs, which is a great opportunity to have some fun with the kids!
