Youth Coach

7 months ago

St Albans, Australia Youth Projects Full time

**A bit about you**

You’re passionate about tackling youth disadvantage on the frontline. You understand the importance of assertively engaging and supporting young people to empower them to address complex barriers to employment. You have experience working in the employment services, youth work, social work or a mix of all.

You love people and can engage with employers, industry and service users with respect, dignity and no judgement full stop.

You’re full of creative ways to meet our service users where they are at and believe that engagement shouldn’t be a one size fits all model. You always see the person, not just their immediate situation because you understand that everyone has different needs, and that is okay.

Our frontline warriors and change makers are all here because we genuinely want to break the cycle of disadvantage, and we want you to want that too

**A bit about the role**

As a Youth Coach, you will tackle youth disadvantage and support young people to address complex barriers to employment, education and/or training. The Youth Coach will be an enabler who connects the needs of young people aged 15 to 24 with the needs of the local labour market (employers).

**A bit about us**:

Our focus is on respect, client-centered care, and harm prevention so people can lead longer lives, have improved health, meaningful employment, and a greater sense of belonging, safety, and security through our holistic model of care.
