Over the years, Victims of Crime NT have worked hard at fostering a safe, dynamic, and enthusiastic work environment where every member of our team feels valued and respected. We acknowledge diversity, embrace differences, and encourage lifelong learning to foster a culture of acceptance and belonging. Our organisation is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of both our clients and our team. We are in the final stages of implementing a comprehensive change framework (Sanctuary Model) which is purposefully designed to build a trauma informed safe community. By adopting this framework, we are committed to providing an inclusive, secure and supportive environment for everyone associated with our organisation.

At Victims of Crime NT, we are dedicated to implementing a trauma-informed approach in all aspects of our work. We recognise the universality of adversity and the impact of trauma on individuals affected by crime and strive to create an environment that promotes safety, empowerment, recovery, and growth.

As a member of our team, you will receive training and support to develop a deep understanding of trauma-informed practice. This includes recognising the signs of trauma, understanding how trauma can manifest in behaviour, and adopting practices that prioritise the physical and emotional safety and wellbeing of ourselves and our clients. By embracing a trauma-informed approach, we aim to foster resilience and healing in those we serve whilst also supporting the well-being of our team.

Joining our team means becoming part of a compassionate and devoted group of people committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals impacted by trauma and crime. By working with us, you will have the opportunity to make a tangible difference in your community by helping others and contributing to positive change.

Your responsibilities in this role will include, but are not limited to:
• Providing direct support and case management processes to First Nations People that are victims of crime, including emotional support, advocacy, and referrals to appropriate services.
• Collaborating with other team members to develop and implement support plans tailored to the unique needs of each client.
• Maintaining accurate and confidential client records in accordance with confidentiality policies and procedures.
• Participating in regular team meetings, activities, and training sessions to enhance your skills and knowledge on the impacts of trauma and how to manage it.
• Engaging in self-care practices and seek support from colleagues when needed to manage the heavy emotional demands of this work.
