Youth Justice Worker

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Youth Justice Workers, Department of Justice and Community Safety Full time $60,000 - $80,000 per year

Youth justice worker (Nights) are the frontline staff who supervise and support young people overnight at Cherry Creek and Parkville Youth Justice Precincts, our secure facilities housing young people on remand or sentenced to a period of imprisonment.

As a full-time or casual youth justice worker on night shift, you will be responsible for:

  • maintaining the safety and security of our facility
  • CCTV monitoring, compliance reporting, responding to alarms and perimeter searches
  • creating a safe and secure environment for both staff and young people
  • working directly with children and young people in a custodial environment, including regular observation
  • redirecting anti-social and challenging behaviour
  • responding to incidents as they occur
  • helping young people develop positive relationships
  • facilitating support from other services, including health and mental health providers, educators and disability organisations.

To be successful, you will be a keen problem solver with great situational awareness, but this job can be tough and at times, your resilience will be tested.

However, by putting in the work, you will see young people make small shifts in their thinking that can have a major impact on their lives and community safety.

To be considered for a youth justice worker role you must be either:

  • an Australian citizen – a birth certificate, citizenship certificate or current passport is required as proof of eligibility
  • a permanent resident of Australia
  • a New Zealand citizen who has entered Australia on a valid passport, or eligible to work in Australia for a period of more than six months.

You will also need to pass a health and fitness assessment. A driver licence is desirable but not mandatory.
