We are currently seeking to engage a female Lead Tenant aged 21 or over to assist us to support three females in a shared living house in Box Hill. This is a voluntary live-in position that involves a 12 month commitment in exchange for rent free accommodation. You will have your own room. The Lead Tenant is required ― in liaison with the agency ― to ensure that house rules are maintained.
This position is ideally suited to someone who is interested in or actively studying in the Human Services field; and offers ongoing training and support. The purpose of the position is to act as a role model for young women to help them to live and share in independent accommodation. This position would suit someone who is prepared to spend most nights at home.
We require good living skills, an understanding of youth issues, and the ability to communicate effectively with young people.
This unique model has been in operation for over 12 months. It provides a high level of support, and young people are required to be engaged in education. You will be required to pass a satisfactory Working With Children Check, Police Check and to sign a tenancy agreement.
We hope to make an appointment early in 2012. Written applications should be addressed in confidence to Margaret Banks, Family Access Network P.O. Box 141 Box Hill 3128 or emailed as below:
