Jarjums Home Practitioner, Moreton Bay

REFOCUS Jarjums Home Practitioner

We are crafting a team of change-makers and we want you!

People who are crazy enough to want to change the world are the ones to do so. If you have just the right amount of crazy, lace up your boots and start wearing your undies on the outside (ok, maybe just lace up your boots) and join our revolutionary new approach to healthy communities.

The New Opportunity

REFOCUS Jarjums Home provides a high standard of physical and emotional care and support to families in a Safe Home care setting. These families may have been placed with us with the aim to reunify, or placed under Child Protection orders. There is only one family living in the home at a time, which makes this very different to residential home type settings.

The role is richly rewarding, but as is the case with such jobs it presents with its own challenges too. Working therapeutically with children and young people means supporting them to be their best selves, helping them learn, grow and develop with autonomy, to make positive choices for their future.
