Job Title

Staying on Track Program Practitioner

Job Description

This role involves active outreach across the community, courts, detention centers, and watchhouses. The purpose of this program is to improve community safety and reduce reoffending by bridging the transition to the community when young people are released from detention.

The Staying On Track (SoT) program aims to support young people aged 10-17 who are involved in the youth justice system. Working closely with their families, carers, and relevant stakeholders, you will deliver trauma-informed, culturally safe, and evidence-based case management support while young people are in detention and following their release.

This is an exciting opportunity for professionals who are committed to client-centered practice, restorative approaches, and creating meaningful change in the lives of young people.

  • Deliver best practice, client-focused support through therapeutic interventions, intakes, assessments, case planning, and goal setting.
  • Provide trauma-informed and culturally responsive case management tailored to the needs of young people and their families.
  • Support young people and families to understand and meet expectations of court orders, case plans, and service response plans.
  • Deliver structured mentoring to address criminogenic needs by building life skills, relationships, and community connection.
  • Conduct safety planning and risk assessments, and develop appropriate risk mitigation strategies.
  • Maintain accurate and timely case notes, reports, and documentation in line with legislative, contractual, and organisational requirements.
  • Build strong relationships with key stakeholders including Youth Justice, Youth Detention staff, Child Safety, and community partners.
  • Contribute to a positive, high-performing team culture and engage in ongoing professional development and supervision.
  • Provide flexible and after-hours support when required, including evenings, weekends, and public holidays.
  • Promote health and safety in all operational practices, including WHS requirements.
  • Undertake other duties as delegated by your line manager, aligned with your role and capabilities.

Required Skills and Qualifications

  • Degree in Social Work, Human Services, Behavioral Science, Psychology, or similar
  • Current Blue Card (Working with Children Check)
  • Current National Police Check
  • Queensland Driver License
  • Willingness and ability to travel within the service region
  • Willingness and ability to work flexible hours, including after hours and on-call support

Benefits

This role offers a dynamic and supportive work environment, opportunities for professional growth and development, and the chance to make a real difference in the lives of young people and their families.

Others

To be successful in this role, you will need to have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, be able to work effectively in a team environment, and have a strong commitment to delivering high-quality services to vulnerable clients.
