The Team

The Glenorchy Child and Family Learning Centre offers a variety of services to support you, all in one place. It is somewhere you and your child can make friends, and they can learn as they play. It’s a welcoming place where you can get advice on health and family matters, education and training. For families and young children, it's a friendly and caring environment that supports you with health and wellbeing services for children from birth to age 5.

About the Role

In partnership with local communities, Community Inclusion Workers (CIWs) will assist with developing and maintaining the Child and Family Learning Centres (CFLCs) and engage with the community to breakdown identified barriers to social participation.

At the direction of the Centre Leader, work collaboratively with the community, parents/caregivers, local and state government agencies and service providers to support the participation of local families in the planning and delivery of community activities/programs and referral to other services that are responsive to the needs of families and young children. CIWs will be responsive to children and families experiencing social isolation, high levels of vulnerability and impacted by trauma to assist them to access the CFLC and relevant services for improved educational, health and wellbeing outcomes of children from birth to 5 years, including support during pregnancy.

Work with CFLC staff and partner services to achieve effective approaches to engaging those families experiencing disadvantage in their communities.
