About the role

You will also have:

  • A suitable living space, including a spare bedroom.
  • No children under five years old living in the home.
  • A solid support network and a good sense of humour.
  • Live within the service area in the western suburbs. Click here to view the service area.
  • Be willing to undergo thorough screening processes and assessment interviews.

What's in it for you?

This is a great opportunity to make a difference in a young person's life by helping to sculpt a successful path for a child who needs a structured and therapeutic environment.

  • You will be paid a monthly tax-free carer allowance of $6,250, and you might also be eligible for Family Tax Benefit A&B.
  • Be a part of a program that helps children develop the skills they need to thrive at home, in school, and in the community.
  • Receive comprehensive initial and ongoing training and guidance.
