Womens Counsellor | Northern Territory
Curis Recruitment is proud to partner with a respected Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation to recruit an experienced Women's Counsellor for a permanent position in the Northern Territory.
Take your counselling skills somewhere they can make a difference — build trusted relationships with women and families while becoming part of a remote Aboriginal community and a collaborative health team.
Further Details
This is a counselling role where relationships are at the heart of the work. You'll work closely with women, families and community, providing culturally safe and trauma-informed support while helping people navigate complex circumstances.
You'll be part of a multidisciplinary team alongside Remote Area Nurses, Aboriginal Health Practitioners, GPs, Midwives, Child Health Nurses, Mental Health Clinicians and Allied Health professionals. You'll also work closely with Aboriginal Family Wellness Workers and community leaders, giving you the opportunity to learn from community and contribute to a holistic model of care.
You will enjoy:
With fully subsidised accommodation, a travel allowance and salary packaging, you'll have the support you need to make the move and settle into remote community life.
When you're not at work, make the most of your surroundings with fishing, boating, camping and exploring the spectacular Top End. Despite its remote location, you're not completely off the grid — short, regular flights to Darwin make it easy to enjoy the city's cafés, restaurants, shops and services when you want a change of pace.
Essential Criteria
