About the Centre for Non-Violence

The Centre for Non-Violence (CNV) is a leading and innovative specialist family violence organisation based in the Loddon region. Guided by feminist principles and a strong commitment to social justice, gender equity, safety and respect, we work towards a vision of gender and social equality for all. CNV is committed to creating inclusive and accessible services and workplaces, and we recognise the value of lived experience, diversity and different ways of working.

About the Role

As Clinical Practice Lead (0.9-1.0 FTE), you will draw on your therapeutic knowledge, sound judgement and cooperative leadership style to strengthen our specialist family violence services.

Your strengths will help our teams deliver safe, responsive and evidence informed support that reflects CNV’s values and clinical governance framework.

Key Responsibilities

- Share specialist knowledge through advice and secondary consultation, strengthening the confidence and capability of colleagues and partner organisations.
- Guide collaborative therapeutic decision making, including intervention planning,



waitlist and allocation oversight, and connections to the most appropriate programs and supports across the Loddon area.
- Bring curiosity, sound judgement and therapeutic expertise to complex work with children, young people and adults who have experienced family violence.

About You

You will bring

- A relevant tertiary qualification that supports therapeutic and clinical practice, such as Social Work, Psychology or an equivalent discipline.
- A collaborative leadership approach and experience helping people grow through supervision, coaching, feedback and reflective practice in complex service environments.
- Strong knowledge of trauma-informed therapeutic practice and experience supporting victim survivors through individual or group work. Experience in related therapeutic settings, including work with adults who use violence, will also be valued.
- The ability to build trusted relationships, work thoughtfully with complexity and turn learning into practical improvements for clients, teams and services.
