Victims of Community Crime Response (VoCCR) - Response & Connection Practitioner
Brisbane
PART TIME
October 18, 2024
The VOCCR pilot has commenced across three key in-community locations (Cairns, Logan and Townsville), with two new regions due to be set up by October 2024. The Victims of Community Crime Response (Vo CCR) service focuses on addressing current gaps faced by victim-survivors needing immediate practical support after experiencing an interpersonal violent crime. Our aim is to provide efficient short-term crisis assistance, such as coordinating emergency transport and accommodation and addressing basic needs, such as food, clothing, home safety upgrades and more, within the first 72 hours of the incident. We also provide warm referrals for long-term support, which may involve legal, health, financial, and housing support.
Position Overview
- Employment Term: Part-time, fixed term (30/06/2025)
- Location: Central Office (Brisbane, QLD)
- Remuneration: Social Community Home Care Disability Award Level 4 (pay point dependent on qualifications and relevant experience). Superannuation.
- Shifts: 08:30 - 16:30 & 16:00 - 00:00
As a Response & Connection Practitioner, your key responsibilities include actioning referrals for eligible victims of crime and their immediate family, delivering immediate assistance following an act of violence, coordinating emergency transport and accommodation, and addressing basic needs such as food, clothing, safety upgrades, and other practical aid.
In addition, you are required to case-manage priority assistance, collaborate with external and internal stakeholders, respond compassionately to victims/survivors, and continually identify ways to improve services. Participation in stakeholder networks and meetings is invaluable, as it supports the delivery of the pilot program and promotes the work of the Vo CCR service.
