Job Description

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Program Facilitator, Men's Behaviour Change is part of the organisation’s Community Engagement Division and is funded by the Department of Communities and Justice. 

SydWest MBCP is a culturally sensitive group program designed to challenge an individual's learned patterns of behaviour and provide education and tools to assist in reframing interpersonal relationships. This 20- week evidence-based group program will create a self-reflective environment developed to enhance life skills, connection, knowledge and understanding of domestic and family violence. It is aimed at men who are living in communities with recognised high levels of domestic violence, who have been perpetrators of family violence, have displayed patterns of behaviour of abuse, or identified at risk of perpetrating violent behaviour. 

We propose to provide Men’s Behaviour Change Programs co-designed with the Indian Sub-continent communities. Our proposed program is informed by the No -to -Violence Risk Framework. Through the implementation of the MBCP standards our goal is to become a registered MBCP provider. It is an important component of the SydWest CALD DFV Prevention Project support strategy and is person-centred, allowing for and focussing on the individual needs and aspirations of each man. This is a contracted role for 3 days a week until 30 June 2026.
