  • Strategic role with expansive opportunities
  • Work within a supportive, multi-disciplinary team
  • Richmond Head Office, with flexible work practices available
Who are we?

The Lighthouse Foundation provides homes and therapeutic care programs to children and young people impacted by long-term neglect, abuse, and homelessness. Our focus is to create caring communities where kids can feel safe, form meaningful relationships, and begin to heal from traumatic experiences. For the past 30 years, our proven Model of Care has successfully transformed the lives of over 1,000 young people using a range of evidence-based strategies. We now educate and support Foster Carers in the same way so that they too can take care of some of Australia’s most vulnerable children.

How will I help?

The focus of this role will be to drive Lighthouse’s strategic priority of demonstrating quality practice through evidence-based frameworks. The role will assist to drive innovation and best practice within and for all Lighthouse programs, with a view to disseminate the findings in the broader system of care for young people and children throughout Australia.

The role will support in expanding and guiding the delivery of training, evaluation and service development initiatives and ensure quality assurance for all Lighthouse programs with a clear focus on reporting of outcomes internally and externally. This role reports to the Director of Corporate Services & Innovation (DCSI) and will work closely with the Director of Therapeutic Care and the Director of Care Services, as well as all stakeholders relating to the provision of these functions.

What’s in it for me?

Working for the Lighthouse Foundation means working for an organisation that cares about the community, and the issues which face young people today.

As Manager of the Lighthouse Institute, you hold a strategic role that is central to ensuring current and new services are available for young people who would otherwise be homeless.

What do I need to be successful?

  • Criminal Records check
