- Salary between $74,580 and $84,917 annually, plus superannuation, in the YJW2 role.

This is an Aboriginal designated position, classified under 'special measures' of section 12 of the Equal Opportunity Act 2010. Only Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people are eligible to apply.
Make a difference in your community by supporting Aboriginal young people in custody. By working with them to deliver culturally appropriate programs for successful rehabilitation, you can help these young people to make remarkable changes in their lives.
Youth Justice Custodial Services aim to engage children and young people in change by addressing their offending behaviour and equipping them with the skills required for positive community participation.
Victoria has three custodial precincts that cater to their needs by offering innovative services aimed at reducing reoffending: Parkville Youth Justice Centre and Cherry Creek Youth Justice Facility.

**The opportunity**:
Working across our two youth justice precincts, you will be responsible for actively engaging Aboriginal young people in custody.
As the Aboriginal Liaison Officer, you will contribute towards developing culturally appropriate individualised plans that provide culturally specific support to them, their families and their community. You will also identify risks that may contribute to re-offending and work towards minimising and managing these risks.
These efforts will aim to identify strengths, aspirations, and obtainable goals, to enable a return to a non-offending lifestyle in the community.
The role will also involve developing effective relationships with a range of Elders, community and professional groups, as well as providing secondary consultation to internal and external staff.

**The Role Benefits**:

- Cultural Insight & Support: Benefit from ongoing cultural guidance from the Aboriginal led Management Team.
- Boost Your Earnings: Receive generous Rotation and On Call Allowances, substantially increasing your salary.
- Flexible Work-Life Balance: Enjoy adaptable hours to fit your life, including weekend options, ideal for students and those with caring responsibilities
- Generous Leave: Take advantage of 5 weeks annual leave and comprehensive leave options for life's important moments.
- NAIDOC week leave and paid Cultural and Ceremonial leave available
- Professional Development: Access to training like Cert IV in Youth Work and ongoing educational opportunities.
- Career Stability & Growth: Secure a role within the Victorian Public Service, with clear paths for progression and internal job access.
- Clear Success Framework: Work confidently with a transparent performance and development framework.
- Relocation Assistance Available: To support your transition into our team, eligible new employees can access up to $10,000 in reimbursement for relocation expenses. This assistance covers necessary costs such as travel, temporary accommodation, and furniture removal, ensuring a smooth move to join us (conditions apply)

**To be successful in this role you will have**:

- An understanding of the Aboriginal community, society and culture and the issues impacting on them. You will also have the ability to communicate sensitively and effectively with members of the Aboriginal community.
- A sound knowledge of evidence-based interventions for Aboriginal children and young people is required and you will be able to provide tailored assistance such as mentoring, motivating, advocacy and skills development.

We will be holding an information session Thursday 22nd February 2024 at 6.00pm at Parkville Youth Justice Precinct - 900 Park St, Parkville VIC 3052. If you would like to learn more and the role, working in Youth Justice and the Department of Justice and Community Safety.
