About the Child, Youth and Family (CYF) Program

Life Without Barriers delivers Out of Home Care services across Australia, supporting children and young people who are unable to live safely at home. Our work is guided by Cornell University's evidence-based Children and Residential Experiences (CARE) model, which promotes trauma-informed, developmentally appropriate, and relationship-based care.

Our goal is to create safe, nurturing environments where young people feel supported to heal, grow, and thrive. We invest in ongoing training and reflective practice to ensure our staff and carers are equipped to make a lasting, positive impact in the lives of children and young people every day.

About the Role

We're seeking a compassionate and committed House Manager to lead one of our residential care homes in Perth (NOR). Reporting to the Operations Manager, you'll oversee day-to-day operations and create a safe, culturally respectful, and therapeutic environment for young people with complex needs.

This is a hands-on role based primarily on-site, with one day per week at our Leederville office. Some shift work is required, including public holidays and occasional early starts (7:30am) and weekends, with applicable penalty rates.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and support a team of Residential Support Workers
  • Ensure the home is emotionally and physically safe, nurturing, and engaging
  • Build strong, trusting relationships with children and young people
  • Manage care planning, transitions, and stakeholder collaboration
  • Roster staff appropriately and respond to crisis situations when needed
  • Facilitate team meetings, reflective supervision, and ongoing training
  • Keep client records and reports up to date using CIRTS database

About You

  • Certificate IV in Child, Youth & Family Intervention (or similar qualification)
  • Experience supporting young people with trauma and high needs
  • Strong leadership and team management skills
  • Confident in managing crisis situations and working under pressure
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
  • Current unrestricted Australian Driver's Licence
  • First Aid and CPR certification (or willingness to obtain)

Why Join Us?

  • Be part of a leading national social purpose organisation
  • Salary packaging options to increase your take-home pay
  • Ongoing training, support, and on-call from our National After Hours Service
  • Work that truly makes a difference in young lives

If you're ready to lead with heart and help shape a better future for young people, we'd love to hear from you. Apply now and be part of something meaningful.
