Why should you start your career with Life Without Barriers as a Youth Worker?
There is no greater honour, no bigger privilege than partnering with children, young people, and families to positively impact their lives.
At Life Without Barriers, we believe that supporting children, young people and families involved with, or at risk of being involved with, the child protection system takes passion, strength, expertise, commitment, and a relentless desire to help them grow, learn, heal, and thrive.
Life Without Barriers can offer you a wealth of opportunities. In fact, we have had Operations Managers, Program Managers, Child and Family Practitioners and Case Managers who kicked off their careers with LWB as Youth Workers. Not only this, but Youth Work can also be the ideal role for people who are studying and wanting to put theory into practice, or who are seeking to achieve better work/life balance all while making a difference at the same time.
Youth Work is truly what you make of it
Key Responsibilities
As an LWB Youth Worker you will:
- Form and maintain professional, nurturing relationships with children and young people by building trust through visible interest and active engagement.
- Act as an appropriate adult role model, seeking to engage young people in purposeful activities aimed at developing life skills and self-worth.
- Support the involvement of family and where applicable, facilitate family visits/connection and the promotion of positive family relationships with children and young people, to suit individual needs.
- Promote and encourage positive relationships with peers and other persons significant to the child/young person.
- Assist the child/young person to participate as fully as possible in making decisions about the activities undertaken.
- Hold an unrestricted Drivers Licence (essential).
- Have a valid Senior First Aid Certificate and CPR Certification (or willingness to obtain prior to commencement).
If you meet the above qualification criteria, we invite you to register your interest for any future opportunities within LWB.
What happens next?
With a focus on ensuring safety and respect for children and young people in our care, we help guide you through a series of background checks to get you ready to work as a Youth Worker in QLD.
Successful applicants will be taken through the following process:
- Invited to sit a one-on-one or group interview.
