About Life Without Barriers

Every day, Life Without Barriers provides support and care to children and young people, as we work collaboratively with families, carers, and communities, to ensure they have the environment they deserve to grow. With a focus on ensuring safety and respect, this is an opportunity to make a positive and meaningful difference in these young lives and help pave a brighter future.

  Life Without Barriers is a leading social purpose organisation of 8,000 employees working in more than 500 communities across Australia. We support children, young people and families, people with disability, older people, and people with mental illness. We work with people who are homeless and refugees and asylum seekers. Join a community of people dedicated to breaking down barriers.

We want to employ people who reflect the diversity of our clients to ensure we can support each client's individual needs and wants. We encourage people of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander background and people with disability to apply.

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

There is no greater honour, no bigger privilege than partnering with children, young people, and families to positively impact their lives.

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.

Youth Work is truly what you make of it

About the role

Working in line with the CARE model you will strive to enhance the lives of young people in our Child Youth & Family programs incorporating a therapeutic, trauma informed approach. We are seeking experienced candidates to support young people that display complex and challenging behaviours.  You will be assisting young people with school drop off & pick up, meal prep, family contact, community access, in-home support and working closely in line with their goals.

Key Responsibilities  

As an LWB Youth Worker you will:

  • Form and maintain professional, nurturing relationships with children and young people by building trust through visible interest and active engagement.
  • Act as an appropriate adult role model, seeking to engage young people in purposeful activities aimed at developing life skills and self-worth.
  • Support the involvement of family and where applicable, facilitate family visits/connection and the promotion of positive family relationships with children and young people, to suit individual needs.
  • Promote and encourage positive relationships with peers and other persons significant to the child/young person.
  • Assist the child/young person to participate as full as possible in making decisions about the activities undertaken.

 Skills & Experience

  • Experience working with young people, ideally in a residential setting is desirable, but successful applicants may have transferable experience from a background working in mental health, teaching/childcare, alcohol and other drugs or youth detention centres.
  • The successful applicants will need to be confident in managing risk and assessment and respond well to young people.
  • Valid Full Unrestricted Australian Drivers Licence (essential)
  • Valid First Aid Certificate and CPR Certification (or willingness to obtain prior to commencement)
  • Complete Hope and Healing Framework Foundations prior to starting (we will enrol you in this if successful)
