Youth Worker
4 months ago
Bimberi Residential Services is recruiting energetic and committed youth workers to join the team.
Youth workers play an important role in supporting and supervising young people at the Bimberi Youth Justice Centre and Bimberi Community Residential Services.
Working in youth justice is about empowering young people to steer their lives in a more positive direction when they return to the community. If you are passionate about changing lives for the better, becoming a youth worker is the ideal place to start.
As youth workers, we empower children and young people to steer their lives in a more positive direction. We act as role models by:
- Establishing healthy routines and working to a daily structure.
- Redirecting anti-social and challenging behaviour to the positive standards expected by the community.
- Engaging young people in education through ongoing encouragement and mentoring
- Helping young people to develop positive family and peer relationships.
- Facilitating support from other services such as health and mental health providers, educators, and disability organisations.
- Creating safe and supportive environments.
While care, supervision, safety and support form the foundation of the role, you will also need strong interpersonal and communication skills. We look for people who are:
- Passionate about working with young people - you strive to engage and empower them to change their lives for the better.
- Dedicated and resilient - you are committed to following procedures, can deal with confronting situations and thrive on challenges.
- Proactive - you are constantly thinking of new ways to solve problems and address issues.
If you are mature and open-minded, your life experiences will enable you to connect and communicate with young people from many different backgrounds. Working intensively with young people every day means there’s no end to what you can learn and how you can grow in your career.
Youth Workers are required to work shift work and provide direct supervision and support to young people and management of their behaviours. Successful applicants will be provided with seven weeks paid induction training that covers topics including legislative obligations, Human Rights, trauma informed and therapeutic practice, responding to critical situations (including Use of Force) and behaviour management.
**Eligibility/Other Requirements**:
- Current driver’s licence
- Current Senior First Aid Certificate
**Note**:
- Permanent, temporary and casual roles may be filled based on operational requirements and the business needs of the organisation.
- Prior to commencing Youth Worker induction, you are required to produce evidence of a current Senior First Aid Certificate and ACT Working with Vulnerable People Card.
**Youth Worker information session**
An information session will be held at Bimberi Youth Justice Centre from 6.00 to 7.00pm:
- Tuesday 28 March 2023
