About you
You are an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander person, with a strong connection to community and a deep commitment to supporting the wellbeing of children, young people, and families, particularly those raised by grandparents. You bring either a relevant tertiary qualification or substantial experience in community services, and you’re passionate about working in a culturally safe, child-focused environment.
You are highly organised, an excellent communicator, and a natural relationship-builder, with the ability to engage respectfully with diverse communities, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families across regional areas.

About Wanslea
Wanslea promotes community, family, and individual development through partnerships and services
Families and children have been at the heart of Wanslea since the organisation was established in 1943. They are still the focus of our entire organisation, which has now grown to offer services in four key areas.
•Family Support
•Out of Home Care
•Community Capacity Building
•Child Care
Through the commitment of our dedicated staff, who share our values, we are now able to reach out to families located across the Perth Metropolitan area, the Peel, Great Southern and Goldfields regions. Greater access means that we are able to help more families with a range of professional and support services.
It also means that we can be there for the children when they need us. It may be for one night because a parent is ill or it could be for long-term foster care. As always our focus is on the well being of the child. We don’t judge, we don’t discriminate, we’re there to help.
