Therapeutic Youth Worker

Elizabeth, Australia Uniting Communities Full time

**Jo’s** is an innovative and unique residential service in South Australia, providing a home for young people who are unable to live with their families due to child protection concerns. Jo’s are more than just an accommodation facility, but rather a truly loving environment for young people where staff nurture and support them to heal from their past trauma, and gain meaningful connection to community as they enter adulthood.
**Jo’s** understand that young people who are placed in care following child protection intervention, require comprehensive, holistic and interagency support due to the complex behaviours they are struggling to navigate. Jo’s understand the crucial need for staff to be supported to enable this high quality of care, and as such the Therapeutic Service Model governs targeted interventions that foster growth and change, with a high focus on authentic engagement and positive team relationships.
**Jo’s** also ensure that birth families, where appropriate, are included in care of young people. Birth families play a vital role in a young person’s life, and as such Jo’s support families with scaffolding to enable safe, healthy and meaningful relationships to form, following child protection intervention.
