Sunshine, Australia Youth Projects Full time

**A bit about the role**

As a Youth Coach, you will tackle youth disadvantage and support young people to address complex barriers to employment, education and/or training. The Youth Coach will be an enabler who connects the needs of young people aged 15 to 24 with the needs of the local labour market (employers).

Through direct case management, developing and delivering innovative activity-based groups, building employer relationships and providing ongoing, intensive interventions and support, the main responsibility of the Youth Coach is to mentor young people into sustainable employment and vocational pathways.

**Key Requirements**:

- Certificate IV (or above) in Mental Health, Youth Work, Community Services, Career Development
- Proven experience in job seeker service delivery and mentoring.
- Drivers License

**A bit about you**

You’re passionate about tackling youth disadvantage on the frontline. You understand the importance of assertively engaging and supporting young people to empower them to address complex barriers to employment. You have experience working in the employment services, youth work, social work or a mix of all.

You love people and can engage with employers, industry and service users with respect, dignity and no judgement full stop.

You’re full of creative ways to meet our service users where they are at and believe that engagement shouldn’t be a one size fits all model. You always see the person, not just their immediate situation because you understand that everyone has different needs, and that is okay.

Our frontline warriors and change makers are all here because we genuinely want to break the cycle of disadvantage, and we want you to want that too

**A bit about us**:
We are an independent, registered charity providing front line support to young people and people experiencing homelessness to open up pathways out of poverty and homelessness - breaking the cycle of disadvantage. Our focus is on respect, client-centred care, and harm prevention so people can lead longer lives, have improved health, meaningful employment, and a greater sense of belonging, safety, and security through our holistic model of care.

This is (some) of what we got up to:

- Over 8,000 people accessed our services
- Welcomed 16,431 visits to The Living Room
- 80% of the young people we supported landed sustainable employment or education outcomes
- More than 150,000 coffees were sold through our social enterprise cafes with $73K profit re-directed into homelessness and youth services
- Experienced 130,000+ contacts through our harm minimisation programs
- You can read more in our Impact Report or you’ll find us right across Naarm/Melbourne with our main hubs located in Glenroy, Sunshine, Werribee, Melton and on Hosier Lane in the heart of the city.

**Why should you work with us?**

We’re a casual and flexible, yet professional and high energy workplace. We encourage flexibility for a healthy work/life balance and although we are very serious about our work, we are very chill when it comes time to wind down. Every day you spend working with us, you’re making a difference. Although they're pretty great perks, we don’t just stop therehere are some of the others:

- Free, locally roasted coffee at the office
- A portion of your income as tax-free through generous salary packaging benefits
