Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Department of Justice and Community Safety, Victoria Full time $113,022 - $124,884 per year

About This Role

  • Help justice-involved young people turn their lives around.
  • Enjoy challenging, meaningful clinical work in a safe and supported team.
  • Earn $113,022 - $124,884 per year, plus super.
  • Grow your skills with ongoing training and supervision.

If you're passionate about
clinical work with young people
and are looking to join a team that values your expertise, supports creativity and encourages professional growth, you'll thrive at Statewide Rehabilitation Services (SRS).

Across our community offices and custodial facilities at Cherry Creek and Parkville, we give young people involved in the justice system the consistent support they need.

As one of our clinicians, you will also work with care teams, families and communities to help young people rebuild their lives.

Using evidence-informed practice, you will guide them through
life-changing shifts in mindset
, behaviour and self-belief and empower them to make positive choices, learn new skills to reduce harmful behaviours and stay on track.

It's complex and challenging work. But it's
work that makes a real difference
both to young people's futures and to our state's safety.

You Will

  • Work within a forensic framework with young people who engage in serious offending behaviour and may present as a moderate to high risk of reoffending.
  • Use your skills and judgement to deliver therapeutic interventions for young people with complex needs and build respectful, supportive relationships.
  • Contribute to a strong team culture where peer support and collaboration with other stakeholders are central to success.
  • Take part in regular training and development, with one day each month dedicated to your learning.

What You Will Get
Our clinicians will tell you that the work here is its own reward. This is a unique opportunity to provide continued support to young people, working across a variety of youth justice settings.

However, there are also many other benefits of a clinical career in youth justice, including:

  • a comprehensive clinical induction
  • opportunities for further professional development
  • sponsorship of your professional membership such as AHPRA or AASW
  • ongoing support, with both informal and formal clinical and operational supervision.

About You
If you have a professional clinical background or education – as well as experience working with young people to make positive changes – we encourage you to apply for this opportunity. This could be the start of career defining work with real purpose.

We recruit qualified practitioners with professional membership or general registration in:

  • psychology
  • mental health nursing
  • social work
  • occupational therapy.

Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people are strongly encouraged to apply.

Children and young people's rights, relationships, identity, and culture must be recognised and respected, their voices heard, and their concerns acted upon. We aim to foster a culturally safe, child safe and child friendly environment for all children and young people we have contact with, deliver services to, or are impacted by our work.
