Details

: Bimberi Youth Justice Centre is the ACT’s only youth detention facility and provides 24-hour safe and secure custody for young people between the ages of 12 and 21 years, who are remanded in custody or sentenced by the ACT Children's or Supreme Courts.

Youth Workers play an important role in supporting and supervising young people at the Bimberi. If you are passionate about changing lives for the better, becoming a Youth Worker is the ideal place to start. Bimberi’s youth workers act as role models by:

Supporting young people to establish healthy routines and develop independence. Coaching young people in prosocial behaviour and building social skills to improve their positive community participation. engaging young people in education through ongoing encouragement and mentoring. helping young people to develop positive family and peer relationships. facilitating support from other services such as health and mental health providers, educators, and disability organisations. creating safe and supportive environments.

While care, supervision, safety, and support form the foundation of the role, you will also need strong interpersonal and communication skills. We are looking for people who are:

Passionate about working with young people – you strive to engage and empower them to change their lives for the better. Dedicated and resilient – you are committed to following procedures, can deal with confronting situations, and thrive on challenges. Proactive – you are constantly thinking of new ways to solve problems and address issues.

If you are mature and open-minded, your life experiences will enable you to connect and communicate with young people from many different backgrounds. Working intensively with young people every day means there’s no end to what you can learn and how you can grow in your career.

Youth Workers are required to work shift work and provide direct supervision and guidance to young people, supporting them through all elements of their day. Youth Workers play an important role in identifying and managing risk and maintaining the safety and security of Bimberi Youth Justice Centre.
