About the role

This is not your average role, so let me explain. It’s a full-time job where you will be part of a transformative short-term treatment foster care team to care for a young person aged 7-17 in your own home for around 9 months.

You will be responsible for:

  • Providing positive reinforcement for the child or young person in a home environment.
  • Follow an exact program of care and be closely supervised and guided by the OzChild care team, which includes a therapist, skills coach, teacher and supervisor.
  • Providing a loving and caring home, routine, and passing on basic life skills.

About you

You are a Permanent Resident of Australia from all different religions and backgrounds, young, old, with their own kids, without kids, empty nesters, everyone from the LGBTQIA+ community, etc.

You will also have:

  • A suitable living space, including a spare bedroom.
  • No children under five years old living in the home.
  • A solid support network and a good sense of humour.
  • Live within the service area. Click here to view the service area.

What’s in it for you?

This is a great opportunity to make a difference in a young person’s life by helping to sculpt a successful path for a child who needs a structured and therapeutic environment.

  • You will be paid a monthly tax-free allowance of $6,667, and you might also be eligible for Family Tax Benefit A&B.
  • Be a part of a program that helps children develop the skills they need to thrive at home, in school, and in the community.
  • Receive comprehensive initial and ongoing training and guidance.
  • You will have 24/7 on-call support, daily phone calls and weekly carer support meetings.
