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.

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
  • 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
