To provide day to day mentor support to children, young people, their families and caregivers receiving this service, inclusive of forming strong community connections.

To assist children, young people and their families / caregivers to become self-managing over time with mínimal need for ongoing professional involvement.

**Qualifications**:
A minimum of a Certificate IV is required. A relevant tertiary level qualification, including Social Work, Youth Work, Psychology, Nursing, Teaching is preferred or someone working towards these.

**To Be Successful in this Position You Will Need**:
Capacity and commitment to work effectively with young people in a lead tenant setting to achieve planned change.

Commitment to the principles and practice of quality care in residential settings for the most vulnerable and disadvantaged young people, and to promote autonomy and self-determination for children and young people.

An ability to provide support and encouragement to children and young people.
