Youth Justice provides community-based supervision and case management services for young people who are appearing before, or have been sentenced by, the Children's Court, Koori Court and adult criminal courts and who have been placed on Youth Justice supervised orders, including supervised bail. Youth Justice promotes the rehabilitation of young people involved in offending, with the aim of reducing crime in the community.

About You
- Advanced understanding of the Youth Justice system including the principles and philosophy underpinning relevant legislation and the Victorian Youth Justice program.
- Demonstrated knowledge and practice at an advanced level in the area of statutory Youth Justice, Corrections, Child Protection or related fields.
- Understanding of the principles of case management and case work and a range of assessment and interventions relevant to the age, gender, developmental stage and offending related needs of the young person.
- Demonstrated understanding and experience in the electronic monitoring of young people or adults involved in the criminal justice system is desirable.
