Child Safety Officer
Vor 2 Tagen
Are you looking for a rewarding and challenging career where you can provide vital front-line support and advocacy for at-risk children and youth in your community?
The Department of Child Safety, Seniors and Disability Services currently have permanent entry-level Child Safety Officer (CSO) roles across Queensland.
This is a diverse and rewarding role where you will put children first and support their safety and rights.
Based in a Child Safety Service Centre (CSSC), you will work closely with other CSOs reporting to, and supported by, your Senior Team Leader.
You will collaborate with Child Safety Support Officers (CSSOs) and Cultural Practice Advisors (CPAs) in your CSSC to ensure children and young people's safety across your region.
What Does Being a CSO Mean?
As a CSO, you will be responsible for delivering statutory child protection services including assessment, intervention, casework, and case management in accordance with legislation and practice guidelines.
Your diverse role can involve working with children in temporary care, children in their home, children in foster care, their parents, families, communities, and guardians.
Our CSOs work across the whole child protection continuum, and when you join us as an entry-level CSO, you will receive both formal and ongoing training to set you up for success as you work through this continuum to provide support and advocacy for children and young people.
Duties include:
Work collaboratively in a multi-disciplinary team, to provide integrated child protection practices including intake, assessment, intervention, casework, and complex case management
Build professional relationships with children, parents, guardians, colleagues, stakeholders, and service providers
Demonstrate commitment to maintaining cultural capability, engaging in self-directed learning about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, and contributing to a culturally safe and inclusive workplace
Maintain accurate case records in line with departmental policies, statutory responsibilities, and the child protection practice framework
Use evidence-based practices and actively participate in continuous learning, training, and professional development to stay updated on contemporary practices
What you get for Becoming an Entry-Level CSO:
This is an important role where you will walk away each day with the reward of knowing that you're making a tangible difference to the safety of children in Queensland.
An attractive annual salary in line with PO3 circa $95,747 - $104,278
12.75% superannuation
Flexible leave and TOIL options
2 weeks of formal training and ongoing training throughout the first year of your role
Clear opportunities for career growth and progression including leadership or joining central teams
You can work anywhere in Queensland, and if you choose to work in a regional or remote location, you may be eligible for the following additional benefits:
Remote area allowances between $2,500 - $10,000 annually dependent on location
Extra leave entitlements up to 10 days annually
Annual return airfares to a major coastal centre of Brisbane
Substantial accommodation and utilities subsidies
What you Need to be a CSO:
When you join our team, you will be part of a team of passionate and dedicated advocates across Queensland.
While this role is incredibly rewarding and important, it is a challenging frontline role and you will need to be resilient as you may be exposed to confronting situations.
To join us as an entry-level CSO you will need:
An Australian Driver's License, either Open or P2
The right to work in Australia as a Citizen, Resident, or on a current visa that allows you to work
A Bachelor Degree in Human Services, Social Work, Psychology or another related field
Alternatively, you will hold an unrelated Bachelor Degree and at least six months work experience in a relevant field
The ability to write accurate and comprehensive reports while protecting identities and personal data
An understanding of what working in a statutory role means, including knowledge of the Child Protection Act 1999
Every child needs someone.
So does every family.
