Family Based Care - Assessment Worker
Full-Time, Permanent Position
Social and Community Services Employee - Level 5
About Us:
We are a growing and innovative social enterprise supporting around 10,000 South Australians each year through housing and community services. Seeking opportunities to build positive pathways and connected thriving communities, we are one of few South Australian organisations offering an integrated model of housing and support. Together, we are committed to effecting long-term positive change for those we work with and the communities we work in.
We are improving lives and building strong, resilient, and connected communities.
Meet some of our amazing staff here!
The Opportunity:
This is a meaningful opportunity to join the Family Based Care (FBC) team as an Assessment Worker, where your work will directly support the safety, wellbeing and stability of children and young people. In this role, you will undertake assessments of prospective General Foster Carers and Specific Child Only carers, using a therapeutic, trauma‑informed framework that recognises the complex experiences of children in care.
Working closely with Case Managers, you will contribute to building carers’ capability and confidence, ensuring they are well prepared to meet the needs of children in placement. While your main role will be to manage assessments within legislative, contractual and organisational requirements, balancing quality practice with clear timeframes and accountability, Assessment Worker may have a small case load providing therapeutic case management support to approved carers.
You will also play an active role in carer engagement, training and recruitment, maintain accurate case records, and represent the organisation through strong partnerships with internal teams and external stakeholders. This is a collaborative role for a practitioner who values reflective practice, professional integrity and child‑centred outcomes.

Communicates clearly and confidently, with strong written, verbal, interpersonal and negotiation skills
Is organised and self‑directed, able to manage competing priorities while meeting strict timelines and compliance requirements
