Caseworker (Restorative Justice)
7 months ago
**ONE POSITION AVAILABLE - GLADSTONE ONLY**
Restorative Justice Caseworkers prepare and facilitate a restorative justice process for young people, victims, their families, and community. This involves engaging with the people most affected by a young person's offending and assisting them to determine an appropriate response to repair the harm, reintegrate young people into the community and reduce re-offending. The role will include conducting conferences as an approved Convenor under the Youth Justice Act (1992).
The Caseworker (Restorative Justice) key responsibilities include:
- 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 through the use of 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.
