Youth Outreach Worker

3 weeks ago

Glenroy, Australia Youth Projects Full time

**A bit about you**:
You are an enabler who successfully engages, supports and coaches disengaged young people by providing critical interventions.

You hold a Certificate IV in Mental Health, Community Health or a related discipline and have experience working with young people (12 - 24) in case management and brief intervention support with a focus on mental health and wellbeing outcomes.

You’re passionate about working with at-risk and vulnerable young people and you know your stuff when it comes to guiding and collaborating in a flexible, youth-orientated environment.

You know not every day will be the same, you can switch from providing support to a service user, to writing impact reports for your manager in the blink of an eye. Changing lives is your passion but you still embrace rolling up your sleeves and mucking in to get the job done.

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.

**A bit about the role**:
YHOP is an assertive outreach service that engages/connects at risk young people to relevant referral pathways to increase engagement, wellbeing and social participation in their community, overcoming barriers.

This is an exciting position in the front line of youth assertive intervention where outstanding motivation and passion will make the most difference.

- Direct service working with clients experiencing multiple and complex needs
