The Department for Child Protection plays a key role in the protection and support of children, young people and their families across South Australia.
We do this by:
- protecting children from abuse and harm
- supporting families to reduce risk to children
- providing alternative care for children and young people when living at home is no longer an option
- managing adoption processes
We are looking for energetic and innovative people who are passionate about contributing to the safety and wellbeing of children and young people so that they grow up safe, happy, and nurtured to reach their full potential.
We are proud of our continued efforts to build a diverse and respectful workforce that offers culturally appropriate services. We encourage and welcome partnerships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities, people with disability, LGBTQIA+ communities, and people from diverse cultural backgrounds. We know that diversity of lived experience, skills and perspectives strengthens our department and enables us to deliver better services to the communities we serve.
The Department for Child Protection is a proud Alumni Partner of Job Access, committed to disability inclusion in the workplace.
