Join to apply for the Caseworker role at Queensland Government

Do you have experience in social work, behavioural science, social science, criminology or a similar field? If so, we'd love to hear from you. Rockhampton Youth Justice is currently seeking a dedicated and passionate individual to join the casework team.

The department of Youth Justice is committed to keeping Queensland communities safe, supporting victims and actively tackling the complex causes of youth crime and targeting serious repeat offenders.

We do this by providing early intervention, statutory Youth Justice, and detention services to ensure that young people are held accountable for their offending behaviour. We help support them to become responsible members of the community.

Caseworkers provide professional intervention to young offenders subject to youth justice intervention, with the aim of reducing re-offending.

As a Caseworker, You Will

• Provide high level strategic and operational human resource consultancy, advice, and services to allocated portfolios.
• Work effectively within a statutory environment to manage the dual roles of monitoring young offenders' compliance with court orders and intervening to address issues that place them at risk of re-offending.
• Proactively work to reduce re-offending using culturally appropriate, collaborative and evidence-based assessment and intervention skills, processes and programs including restorative justice activities.
• Work collaboratively as part of a team including a range of internal and external stakeholders, to achieve positive outcomes for victims, young offenders, their families, and the community.
• Prepare and present verbal and written reports to the Children's Court on behalf of the Chief Executive. Conduct pre and post court interviews, prepare quality presentence reports, affidavits, and other relevant documentation to support best practice outcomes for young people in the justice system.
• Undertake record keeping and information management tasks to ensure accountability.
• Actively participate in a range of continuing professional development activities to continuously improve your ability to contribute to organisational goals, including training, supervision, and relevant accreditation.
