Youturn is a leading national not-for-profit organisation delivering Health and Community Services to vulnerable people across Australia.

This Intervention Worker role is a chance to be there when it counts. You'll be the first point of contact for young people aged 12–25 who reach out to headspace for help — and your presence, care, and clinical skill can set their whole journey in motion.

What you'll be doing

  • Deliver brief interventions and coordinate care for mild to moderate mental health concerns

  • Conduct comprehensive assessments (bio-psycho-social, risk, AOD), and build collaborative action plans

  • Work within a multidisciplinary team (GPs, allied health, vocational specialists and more)

  • Offer support through centre-based, outreach, or telehealth services

  • Be part of community engagement and youth-led initiatives

  • Help shape holistic support that's trauma-informed, age-appropriate and culturally aware

What we're looking for

You've got:
A tertiary qualification and registration in Psychology, Social Work, OT, Mental Health Nursing, or equivalent (ACA Level 3 for Counsellors)
Skills in assessment, risk management, and therapeutic interventions
A natural ability to connect and communicate with young people
An understanding of trauma-informed care and a passion for early intervention
A current driver's license and Blue Card (QLD)

What you'll get

  • A role with real purpose and tangible impact

  • Enjoy generous salary packaging of up to $15,900, plus $2,650 meal entertainment benefits, to further maximise your take-home pay

  • Ongoing professional development and clinical supervision

  • A passionate, values-driven team and supportive workplace culture

  • Opportunities to innovate, grow, and co-create youth-led services

  • Flexibility: Enjoy work-life balance with flexibility for negotiating start/finish times, tailoring your career to your lifestyle

  • Wellness Leave: Recharge with 5 days of paid wellness leave each year (pro-rata).

  • Paid Parental Leave: Unlock 12 weeks of paid parental leave benefits after just one year of dedicated service

Sound like you?

We'd love to hear from you. Be part of something bigger — help shape a healthier future for young people in your community.
