Calling All Passionate Youth Workers - Make a Lasting Impact in Ipswich

Are you ready for a job that truly changes lives?

Are you looking for meaningful, rewarding work where you can:

  • Make a real difference in someone's life
  • Help shape the future of young people in your local community
  • Have a great work life balance

Residential Youth Workers and Senior Youth workers

We're on the lookout for compassionate, committed Youth Workers to support young people who are experiencing vulnerability and need someone to walk alongside them through life's challenges.

In this permanent, full-time role, you'll work directly with young people in a 24-hour care residential setting, helping them build resilience, independence, and a strong sense of belonging.

You'll work an average of 5 x 24-hour shifts per fortnight on a rotating roster - giving you meaningful time off while still making a deep impact.

Travel within the Ipswich region is required - a work vehicle is provided while on shift.

Who We're Looking For

You're a resilient, heart-led professional who brings:

  • A Certificate IV in Child, Youth & Family Intervention (or equivalent)
  • A current Blue Card
  • A full Australian Driver's Licence
  • Full working rights in Australia
  • A strong ability to build trust with diverse young people
  • Flexibility to work 5 x 24-hour shifts per fortnight
  • Emotional strength and resilience in high-pressure environments
  • 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.

Note: Offers start on a casual basis during induction, with permanent roles offered once you complete the induction program.

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

Are you ready to take the next step in your Youth Work journey?

We look forward to receiving your application.
