About Us

At Anglicare Victoria, we work alongside children, young people and families to help build safer, stronger futures. Our work is guided by three pillars Prevent, Protect, Empower and grounded in compassion, courage and commitment.

The Orange Door is central to this work, bringing together specialist family violence and child and family services into one integrated entry point for support.

Make your mark:

Prioritise the safety of victim survivors and children using a gendered understanding of family violence and an understanding of child and family vulnerability. 

As a Practitioner within The Orange Door, you will work in an Intake, Assessment and Brief Intervention capacity as part of an integrated team.

This is primarily a phone-based role, where your practice skills are applied through conversation, risk assessment and planning.

The work is diverse, complex and often time critical. It requires emotional agility, sound judgement and the ability to assess risk while remaining calm and compassionate.

You will work collaboratively within the integrated model, contributing to shared risk assessment, case planning and coordinated responses across child wellbeing and family violence streams.

The skills you will use day to day:

• Experience working with victim survivors of domestic violence.

• Have confidence navigating legislative and policy frameworks to inform risk assessment and planning.
• You will be conducting risk and needs assessments and developing safety plans.
• Ability to actively engage vulnerable children, young people and families.
• Your commitment to trauma-informed and culturally responsive practice.
• With collaborative practice skills within multidisciplinary environments.
• Identify risks and concerns, strengths and protective factors, intersectionality and vulnerability factors.
• Resilience to work with and support clients who have been exposed to trauma.
• The ability to recognise and identify limits of own expertise and to seek advice or refer clients to other specialists.
