If you think you can do the job and would be a good fit for our department, we’d love to hear from you.

We are proud of the important work we do across Victoria. Want to be part of it?
- ** Join Victoria's new ground-breaking youth justice centre near Werribee**:

- **Casual and full-time roles available**:

- **Important role maintaining the security of Victoria's newest youth justice custodial precinct**:

- **Study for a Certificate IV in Youth Justice alongside your work**

**Create change from the inside out**

At Cherry Creek, we offer innovative services aimed at reducing reoffending and giving young people the skills to make the most of their lives when they return to the community.

The young people we work with can make remarkable changes in their lives. For many, that process will begin at the new state-of-the-art Cherry Creek Youth Justice Precinct. By working here, you can be a part of the change you want to see and make our state a safer place to live.

**The opportunity**

As a reception and security officer, you will be part of the team responsible for the overall security and management of the reception building. Some of the tasks you will handle include:

- Pedestrian circulation and vehicle management, to ensure that only authorised persons enter and that entrances are unobstructed.
- Security checks of people and possessions entering the precinct.
- Maintaining registers (such as mobile phone and tool registers).
- Issuing visitors and contractors with identification passes, keys and swipe cards (where required) on entry, which are retrieved on exit.
- Main Control Room (MCR) duties, including live monitoring of CCTV and response to alarms, duress and intercoms.

**To thrive as a reception and security officer, you will be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with strong attention to detail.**

You will also have:

- Experience with security systems and/or experience in a custodial environment.
- A current full driver's license.
- Both a commitment to obtaining a Working with Children Check (WWCC) and a statement of attainment for the first aid unit HTLAID011 Provide First Aid. If you don't have these already, you will have time to complete these further into the recruitment process.

**About Cherry Creek**

We want young people to return home with the confidence that they can thrive in their own communities, so Cherry Creek is designed to represent a familiar, real-world environment. Instead of larger dormitory-style accommodation, young people at Cherry Creek sleep in smaller four-bed and eight-bed units across different neighbourhoods.

Some of Cherry Creek's other design features include:

- Age-appropriate and culturally sensitive accommodation and learning environments.
- Enhanced health, mental health and drug and alcohol support, including a dedicated medical centre and two mental health units for young people.
- Purpose-built buildings to deliver programs and education, including a recreational centre and vocational training campus for trade-specific courses.
- A spiritual and cultural space for cultural and faith-based programs, including gardens and a yarning circle.
- Energy-efficient design throughout the precinct, with the use of many recycled materials.
- Modern and spacious staff facilities with views of the You Yangs mountain range.
- Access to on-site parking and staff gym.
- We want to make sure all Victorians feel represented by the department's work. We do this by recruiting a diverse workforce - we welcome people of any gender, age, religion, sexual orientation, disability, and cultural background. We are also committed to the Victorian Government's promise to increase the number of veterans working in the public sector._

**_ Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people are strongly encouraged to apply._**
