7 days ago

Brisbane, Australia Queensland Government Full time

The Role
The purpose of this position is to address system and practice issues that impact on young people with disability to successfully transition out of youth justice. Working alongside the regions, internal and external stakeholders the Principal Practice Officer will identify and address barriers and provide specialised practice responses that address the challenges and complexities faced by young people with disability in youth justice, and the staff supporting them.
With a culturally responsive disability lens the position will provide high level strategic advice, undertake major projects, and design, develop and evaluate evidence-based best practice, policy and procedures. This includes managing implementation of new initiatives and facilitating solutions through collaboration and engagement across government, community and other stakeholders.
A central consideration for this role is continuing to work towards practice that is culturally responsive and inclusive of the voices of young people and families with disability involved in youth justice.
The Team
The Disability Practice Team is dedicated to improving outcomes for young people in youth justice with known or suspected disability. By providing targeted advice and support, the team ensures youth justice responses are evidence-based, inclusive, and grounded in the principles of Risk, Needs, Responsivity.
**Key functions of the team include**:
**Project management**: Supporting the implementation of new initiatives that address disability-related challenges within Youth Justice Services. This includes driving innovation and ensuring initiatives align with best-practice principles.
**Practice Support**: Offering targeted advice for complex case support to regional staff working directly with young people with disabilities. This includes equipping frontline staff with the practice tools, knowledge, and strategies required to navigate disability-related complex cases effectively.
**Program design, adaption and Implementation**: Providing guidance on program adaptions required to ensure young people with disabilities have equitable access to youth justice service responses and programs.
**Interagency coordination and systems improvement**: The team collaborates extensively with other government agencies, non-government organisations, and community stakeholders to address systemic barriers. This integrated approach ensures cohesive service delivery and the identification of opportunities for sector-wide improvements.
The team is committed to being culturally responsive. We acknowledge the impacts of a history of systemic racism that continues to need to be addressed. We actively engage with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander stakeholders, Elders, and community to incorporate culturally informed perspectives into service delivery.
Through reflection, listening, learning, and partnership, we aim to improve outcomes for First Nations young people and their families in all that we do.
Through a commitment to centering the voices of young people and families with disabilities, along with a focus on innovation and collaboration, the Disability Practice
Team plays an important role in fostering inclusive practices, promoting equitable outcomes, and driving systemic changes within youth justice and the broader service system.
