Why should you start your career with Life Without Barriers as a Youth Worker?

At Life Without Barriers, we believe that supporting children, young people and families involved with, or at risk of being involved with, the child protection system takes passion, strength, expertise, commitment, and a relentless desire to help them grow, learn, heal, and thrive.  

Life Without Barriers can offer you a wealth of opportunities. In fact, we have had Operations Managers, Program Managers, Child and Family Practitioners and Case Managers who kicked off their careers with LWB as Youth Workers. Not only this, but Youth Work can also be the ideal role for people who are studying and wanting to put theory into practice, or who are seeking to achieve better work/life balance all while making a difference at the same time.
