We are looking for passionate Senior Youth Workers and Residential House Managers/Leaders to work directly with young people who are vulnerable and in need of assistance.

  • Ensuring the delivery of high-quality care that results in positive outcomes for the child, such as:
  • Building relationships and life skills
  • Engagement in education
  • Improved health and hygiene
  • Working within organisational policies, procedures, and values, and contributing to the continual improvement of Safe Places services

Benefits

  • Annual bonus of $1000 after 12 months' continuous service, rising by $1000 each subsequent year, capped at $5000 for five or more years or service.

  • Six (6) weeks leave per year (plus 17.5% leave loading) accrued on a pro rata basis.

Essential requirements

  • A minimum 2 years' experience working with children with challenging behaviours, such as verbal and physical aggression, in a residential setting or in care

  • Ability to do shift work and in-home sleepovers

  • Ability to accommodate roster changes and on call requirements at short notice. We endeavour to complete rosters up to two weeks in advance, though changes may occur due to the nature of the work.

  • Ability to participate in team meetings, staff meetings, training and supervision, as required

  • Knowledge of issues facing children in the out-of-home care sector, the impact of childhood abuse and trauma, and crisis management techniques

  • Understanding of case management model in the residential care setting

  • Ability to work autonomously in an isolated environment, supported by established procedures

  • Ability to supervise team members and establish effective team processes and systems

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills including negotiation, networking, and ability to draft shift reports
