About the Organisation
Every day, Life Without Barriers provides support and care to children and young people, as we work collaboratively with families, carers, and communities, to ensure they have the environment they deserve to grow. With a focus on ensuring safety and respect, this is an opportunity to make a positive and meaningful difference in these young lives and help pave a brighter future.
Life Without Barriers is a leading social purpose organisation of 8,000 employees working in more than 500 communities across Australia. We support children, young people and families, people with disability, older people and people with mental illness. We work with people who are homeless and refugees and asylum seekers. Join a community of people dedicated to breaking down barriers.
We want to employ people who reflect the diversity of our clients to ensure we can support each client's individual needs and wants. We encourage people of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander background and people with disability to apply.
About the Role
Working within a supportive team of Clinicians and under the guidance of a Clinical Supervisor, this role involves providing in-home clinical services to a small caseload of young people (11–17) who present with offending behaviours and varying levels of youth justice involvement, together with their families.
MST (Multisystemic Therapy) is an empirically based and internationally proven treatment model developed through more than 30 years of applied research.
Our MST program is designed specifically for young people and focuses on changing the factors linked to anti-social and offending behaviour across individual, family, peer, school/vocational, and community systems.
We are excited to extend this opportunity to suitably qualified health professionals who are passionate about youth justice and committed to creating real change for young people and their families. Through the MST model, you will implement comprehensive, systemic intervention plans that lead to lasting impact.
This is a Full-Time Permanent position, with multiple vacancies available, based at our Springwood office.
Your main responsibilities will include:
- Delivering clinical services to a targeted caseload of young offenders and their families, including psychological assessments, case conceptualisation, planning, and treatment.
- Adhering to the MST intervention model by establishing intensive client contact and intervention with individuals and families, and collaborating with relevant community agencies.
- Identifying barriers to pro-social activities and engaging families, caregivers, and key participants in treatment to resolve barriers and achieve lasting behavioural change.
- Providing flexible individual, family, caregiver, and community interventions (including evening work 2–3 nights per week) to best meet family needs.
- Participating in the on-call roster.
Skills and Experience
- Masters qualification in Psychology or Social Work preferred.
- Minimum requirement: a 4-year degree in Social Work or Psychology. Degrees in related fields (e.g. counselling, family/systems therapy) will be considered alongside relevant experience.
- Registration or eligibility for registration with the relevant professional organisation/s (e.g. AASW, Psychology Board of Australia).
- Class C Drivers Licence.
- Expertise in family/caregiver systems theory, behavioural and cognitive-behavioural therapies, and their application to the treatment of young offenders.
- Relevant experience working with marginalised, minority, and difficult-to-engage young people and their families.
- Ability to plan and deliver evidence-based interventions with individuals, families, or systems.
- Flexibility, resilience, and commitment to working intensively with families, including after hours.
What we offer
In addition to ongoing supervision, MST training, and professional development opportunities, Life Without Barriers offers:
- Generous salary packaging options (up to $15,900 per annum).
- A mobile phone, laptop, on-call roster allowance, and tool-of-trade vehicle.
- A rostered day off per month (negotiable).
- Opportunities to work from home, with autonomy in managing your caseload.
- A supportive, multidisciplinary team and structured pathways for career growth.
