AN important new recruitment drive to help keep children and families safe has been launched by The Victorian Government.
They are calling on new graduates and career changers from across Northern Victoria to consider joining the ranks of Victoria’s child protection workforce.
Member for Northern Victoria, Mark Gepp MP, is urging locals to consider a rewarding career in child protection following the launch of the ‘Go Where You’re Needed’ campaign, which aims to recruit more than 280 new child protection practitioners across metropolitan and regional Victoria.
The campaign, which will run across radio, print and online, showcases the benefits of a career in child protection, which provides many opportunities to make a real difference in the lives of vulnerable children and families.
There are a broad range of roles to choose from across various levels, which offer professional development, career progression and the chance to work with diverse and dynamic teams across the state.
The campaign follows the launch of the Child Protection Workforce Strategy 2021 and was created with input from practitioners and industry experts.
“If you want a meaningful career that can change the lives of vulnerable children and keep families strong, child protection offers a range of roles for different skillsets,” said Member for Northern Victoria, Mark Gepp MP.
“Whether you’re a recent graduate, changing careers or already work in human services, I urge you to consider a job in child protection.”
