About the Opportunity
The GEO Group Australia is seeking a dedicated and culturally sensitive Aboriginal Wellbeing Officer to join our team at Fulham Correctional Centre.
As an Aboriginal Wellbeing Officer, you will play a vital role in providing pre and post-release services that promote health, wellbeing and 'healing' of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander prisoners, their families and the broader Aboriginal community.
You will have direct prisoner contact and support people's cultural wellbeing, spiritual and traditional needs. This will involve supporting new receptions in their adjustment to the prison environment, participating in case-management and reintegration planning, and motivating and supporting engagement in programs and services that seek to reduce re-offending.
You will also lead the coordination of cultural activities including NAIDOC events and Aboriginal specific programs within the prison.
The successful candidate will identify as an Aboriginal Australian and ideally have a background in social work, welfare or community services.
Your Skills & Experience
To be successful in this role, you will possess the following:
Essential:
- A demonstrated knowledge and understanding of the Victorian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community and demonstrated commitment to improving outcomes for Aboriginal people.
- A deep and authentic understanding of Indigenous culture, peoples, Country and traditions and the impact that the criminal justice system has on indigenous men, families, and communities.
- A demonstrated ability to communicate sensitively and effectively with members of the Victorian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.
- A demonstrated ability to be mature, flexible, and empathetic to the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander prisoners.
- Well-developed interpersonal, communication (verbal and written), assertiveness and negotiation skills.
- Ability to use a range of IT application programs.
- Ability to work collaboratively with other program areas and disciplines.
Desirable:
- A background in Social Work, Welfare or Community Services.
- Previous experience working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in a health, case-management, or wellbeing role.
About the Benefits
As a member of our team, you will enjoy a safe and secure working environment, flexibility, and opportunities for continuous skills and professional development.
You will also have access to subsidised meals, free parking, and uniform, as well as career progression and competitive salaries.
