Wagga Wagga, Australia Save the Children Full time

 

Are you driven by a desire to make a real difference? Join us at 54 reasons as a Youth Specialist in our Mobile Youth Outreach program and experience the unique impact that comes from working with a dedicated, mission-driven organisation. Unlike similar roles in other organisations, our Youth Specialist position is centred around a holistic and culturally informed support tailored to the communities we serve. You’ll work with our team to provide focused interventions that tackle both immediate challenges and long-term development for young people. By joining our team, you’ll be instrumental in fostering resilience, promoting positive behaviours, and empowering young people to achieve their full potential.

 

54 reasons is Australia’s leading child rights organisation – no ordinary not-for-profit.    

It takes all types of personalities and talents to drive our organisation– yours included. We value a healthy work-life balance and ensure our people feel connected to each other and our impact. Learn from inspiring people and grow from a connection to our strong local and global networks. From our programs to our support services - this is the place to realise your purpose.

 

A place to make a difference:

In this part-time, maximum term role (4 days per week, through to end of June 2025, with potential for extension), you’ll work as a part of our Mobile Youth Outreach Short Term Remand Pilot team in Wagga to help us create lasting change for children everywhere. The Youth Specialist plays a key role in delivering on our vision of a better world for young people.

 

You will make a difference by:

  • Providing early intervention sessions via Mobile Youth Van to young people 10-17 years in school and out of school
  • Facilitating youth-led arts and recreational activities, mentoring in practical skills, career and education support
  • Working in collaboration with partners (government and non-government) towards common goals to meet the complex needs of clients
  • Actively participating in community events to promote the program
  • Maintaining accurate case notes and records, and inputting data into internal and external online systems

 

A place to feel valued:

You’re an experienced and passionate youth worker, and your commitment to fostering positive relationships within our diverse communities is second to none. We will recognise your contribution and provide you the support to ensure you can bring your best, knowing here you have the space and opportunity to grow.

 

Bringing your best every day, means:

  • Demonstrated experience in case work with culturally diverse young people, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people
  • A deep understanding of intergenerational trauma and its impacts on young people
  • Experience facilitating and organising group activities
  • Driver’s licence
  • Qualifications in Youth Work or a similar field would be desirable

 

A place to belong:

It takes all types of people to do the challenging work we do. We are diverse personalities, backgrounds and talents, embracing our differences as one strong and united team. We see and celebrate the unique value you bring to our organisation, and offer a range of rewards for your effort, including:

  • Individual learning plans to help map and deliver on your career development.
  • Award rate salary ($43.08 per hour) plus access full PBI salary packaging benefits (use this link to see how much this benefit could mean to you)
  • Supportive Managers – we provide monthly individual and group supervision sessions so you can feel supported and build a career at Save
  • Support for workplace wellness, including access to our free, confidential Employee Wellbeing Program
  • Celebrate and feel supported in your diversity. We’ve established internal networks to support our diverse workforce, foster inclusion and allow you to bring your whole self to work (if that’s what you want) (Pride@Save, Parents and Carers@Save, Mental Wellness Alliance, Disability@Save, First Nations Advisory Committee).
