  • A genuine passion for mentoring and teaching life skills

What You'll Do

  • Be a stable, supportive presence in the lives of young people
  • Help develop their life skills, confidence, and independence
  • Work through tough times together, providing emotional and practical support
  • Advocate for their needs and wellbeing as part of a wider care team
  • Collaborate with Case Managers and community services to support long-term outcomes

Why You'll Love Working with this organisation

  • Paid 3-week induction - get the tools and training you need to succeed
  • 6 weeks of annual leave - because you deserve balance
  • Annual bonus - up to $5,000 based on your years of service
  • Salary packaging - make the most of your take-home pay
  • Above-award guaranteed weekly income - enjoy financial stability
  • Career development - ongoing training and internal promotion opportunities

Your Training Journey

You'll begin with a comprehensive 3-week induction program (classroom, online and on-the-job training), preparing you with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to succeed.

This isn't just a job. It's a purpose. A chance to show up when it matters most.
