[Heather Gridley]

Hi all and apologies for any cross-postings - thought you might be interested or know others who might be interested in this position which is pivotal to the support of sexual assault victims/survivors in Melbourne's west. (Despite the 'clinical' emphasis here, WestCASA is a terrific, feminist-informed organisation).

WestCASA provides sexual assault crisis care, specialist trauma counselling, advocacy, education and training services to the western metropolitan region of Melbourne and the Dame Phyllis Frost Centre (women’s prison) in Deer Park. WestCASA provides services to women, men and children (aged 12 years and over) who have experienced sexual assault as adults or children. WestCASA also supports non-offending family and friends.

The successful applicant will provide clinical supervision and support the professional development of all Counsellor/Advocates in their role of delivering counselling and advocacy to people who have experienced sexual assault and their non-offending family & friends. They will also provide supervision and support for all administrative and project staff in their various roles within the organisation. The position provides clinical leadership to the team of Counsellor/Advocates in relation to the application of current research and best practice in the delivery of trauma focused counselling and advocacy and the provision of services within a feminist rights/advocacy framework.

The successful applicant will work with the Chief Executive Officer to ensure the wellbeing of the team and accountable delivery of services. The position oversees and supports the development and delivery of a range of programs and group work that support and enhance the core work undertaken by WestCASA.

WestCASA is a not-for-profit organisation with a community-based Board of Governance and a member of the state-wide peak organisation of sexual assault services, CASA Forum. Services are funded by the Victorian Government. The successful candidate will have a strong commitment to and understanding of the personal and political issues surrounding sexual assault. You will have a depth of experience in working with issues of complex trauma in a therapeutic environment. You will be an excellent communicator, able to work independently and contribute to a strong team. WestCASA provides a varied, engaging and supportive professional work environment and will consider flexible work arrangements. Our staff form a vibrant and committed team.
