ABOUT THE ROLE

The Family Time Worker role is a casual role which will require the individual to have flexibility in when they are able to work, however being able to work on weekends is a must! The right applicant may also have the opportunity to complete Youth and Disability Support Worker shifts where appropriate.

The Family Time Worker is the adult responsible for the safety and wellbeing of the individual during the supervised family time. The Family Time Worker also provides accurate and objective supervision reports centred around the six dimensions of quality care.

Your tasks can include:

• Facilitate family time visits between children and young people, and their family members in accordance with individual needs outlined in family time plans, identified in Community Services referrals and on-going Case Conference reports.
• To ensure the safety and well-being of individuals during Family Time visits.
• To administer medication where necessary and as directed.
• To accurately and objectively report feedback via a written report after each visit.
