  • At least 1 year of experience working with children and young people in a care or community setting
  • Strong communication, teamwork, and relationship-building skills
  • Ability to work effectively with diverse backgrounds and experiences
  • A valid driver's license (minimum P2)
  • Ability to obtain a Blue Card, National Police Check, and LCS screening
