Rainbow Lodge is a residential support program for men to transition back into the community following a period of incarceration, with a focus on healing from trauma. We work through intensive case management that runs alongside our daily groups. Clients are supported by weekly access to a psychologist.
First Nations clients have access to cultural programs and specialist staff to support them to heal in a culturally appropriate way. This also allows for reconciliation through education for non-First Nations clients.
The Support Worker role includes afternoon, night and sleepover shifts, including weekends.
You will be required to supervise up to 10 men transitioning from a term of incarceration back into the community. You will need to possess living skills and cooking skills to support the men to complete everyday task.
Knowledge of/experience working with First Nations people and their culture is an important attribute, and we encourage First Nations people to apply.
Good communication skills are an essential requirement for this role.
Experience working in a trauma-informed and restorative practice framework is an essential requirement for the role.
