At Safe Places for Children, we provide young people at risk with intensive therapeutic support and supervision in a homely and welcoming residential care setting.

Our team of Youth Workers brings a genuine passion to make a difference in the lives of young people and our communities. With over 15 years of experience, we have made a difference in the lives of more than 1800 young people.

Our Values

  • Working with an inclusive and valued workforce

The Opportunity

We are looking for passionate Youth Workers to work directly with young people who are vulnerable and in need of assistance.

You will be the person in their lives to help them build life skills, healthy attachments, and most importantly be there for them when they need you the most. You will work through tough times and challenges together, knowing that the ultimate outcome is guiding them to live a fulfilled and independent life.

Advocating for a young person's sense of belonging while encouraging their independence is a deeply rewarding career path.

Travel around the Burpengary and Caboolture region will be essential for this role.

This role is for full-time employment and requires availability across 7 days. We currently have a roster consisting of 5 x 24 hour shifts per fortnight including sleep overs.

Key Responsibilities

  • Building rapport and trust with young people, acting as a role model with residential house duties.

  • Helping to engage in post-crisis support functions to better support young people with complex needs and behaviours.

How We Support You

Safe Places for Children offers a comprehensive induction program that encompasses classroom, online, and on-the-job training. The induction program is designed to provide qualified Youth Workers with a solid understanding of a 'day in the life' of a Youth Worker at Safe Places as well as the skills, knowledge, and practice to work within our Integrated Practice Framework.

Due to the trauma-sensitive work of our Youth Workers, we require our inductee Youth Workers to successfully complete the Induction Program before they can be assigned to a young person. As such, employment offers are made on a casual basis and following the successful completion of the Induction Program, permanent, full-time offers are made. Candidates will need to be available to attend the Induction Program which will take approximately 3 weeks.

  • Have transferable skills and be willing to enrol into a Certificate IV in Child, Youth and Family Intervention
  • Current Blue Card (Working with Children Check)
