Transforming Lives, Creating Memories: Join Our Inspiring Team of Casual Youth Engagement Officers
Our youth programs are the heart of PCYC. This is where lives are changed, and memories are made through its partnership with the WA Police, and the mission simple – to help all young people achieve their potential with programs like safeSPACE. safeSPACE is PCYCs early intervention program, aimed at supporting frontline policing priorities and preventing young people from becoming involved in the youth justice system and improving outcomes for those who do. safeSPACE delivers an integrated service offering, both universal and targeted programs to best support young people aged 10-18.
An exciting new opportunity has arisen to support the safeSPACE program at our Gosnells centre as a Youth Engagement Officer. The Youth Engagement Officer (YEO) role is responsible for supporting the delivery of strong youth work support for at risk and vulnerable young people referred in to PCYC programs, whilst working to the corporate goal of improving communities through effective youth development.

The YEO will support PCYC staff to facilitate all aspects associated with service delivery. This includes supporting the planning, delivery and facilitating, monitoring and evaluation of programs and activities all within a safe and welcoming environment to ensure young people receive opportunities to reach their full potential.
