: The Youth Justice and Adolescent Services (YJAS) is a Branch with a newly expanded remit. Previously only responsible for custodial youth justice services, the YJAS is undertaking significant policy and service design reform work including to operationalise the ‘Raising the Minimum Age of Criminal Responsibility’ reform and build new service relationships, both within the ACT Government and the community sector.

YJAS is seeking dedicated and qualified professionals to join our team as a Practitioners. This role is integral to our commitment to ensuring the safety and rehabilitation of young people within our community.

We are currently recruiting specifically to the following teams:

Youth Justice Community Services (YJC) – Provides case management and supervision for young people subject to custodial and community-based orders. This includes direct supervision of court orders and providing rehabilitative and therapeutic supports and supporting young people exiting from custody. The primary focus of the team is to reduce the risk of severity and frequency of recidivism and address the needs of young people involved in the criminal justice system.

As a Youth Justice Practitioner, you will be responsible for the development and implementation of comprehensive case management strategies, working in close collaboration with multidisciplinary teams and community stakeholders. Your role will be critical in supporting the rehabilitation, reintegration, and positive development of young people in contact with the justice system.

The successful candidate will possess strong engagement, communication, and problem-solving skills, as well as an understanding of the youth justice system.

The Community Services Directorate is committed to addressing the disproportionate representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in the youth justice system and is committed to meeting the cultural needs of young people we work with. The Community Services Directorate acknowledges the significant contribution that individuals with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural heritage and experience bring to improving outcomes for young people. We strongly encourage applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have the appropriate background, experience, and capability, but may not hold the essential tertiary qualification to consider applying for these roles.
