Brisbane, Australia Children, Youth Justice and Multicultural Affairs Full time

The division
In Youth Justice you will have the opportunity to work together with people, partners and across places to enable young Queenslanders, especially the most vulnerable, to have positive life choices and opportunities.
You will help achieve this vision through developing and delivering initiatives, programs, and interventions to:

- Increase community safety and reduce rates of youth offending
- Improve wellbeing of children and young people in and transitioning from youth justice
- Reduce the disproportionate representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people in the youth justice system.

**Key responsibilities**:

- 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 pre-sentence 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.

**Delegations**:
Caseworkers have a range of statutory delegations under the Youth Justice Act 1992.
