Job description

Support Young People with Purpose

As a Residential Care Youth Worker, you'll be part of a dedicated, trauma-informed team providing day-to-day care, guidance, and support. You'll help young people build life skills, develop routines, and achieve their goals in a safe, stable environment.

Your day-to-day will include running the household - cooking meals, maintaining a clean and welcoming home environment, ensuring supplies are stocked, and managing the practical aspects of daily living. You'll also be transporting young people to appointments and activities, administering and documenting medication, therapeutic behaviour management, and collaborating with a multidisciplinary team including case managers, therapists, teachers and families. You'll also be responsible for meeting DFFH standards and requirements, including maintaining accurate case notes, incident reporting, and other essential administration.

This work is rewarding but it's also demanding. You'll be working with young people who have experienced significant trauma and need adults who can remain calm, regulated and therapeutic even in challenging moments. You need to be emotionally resilient, skilled in co-regulation, and genuinely committed to trauma-informed practice.

What You’ll Need

  • Certificate IV in Child, Youth & Family Intervention (or equivalent – see our website for the full list) Please see below link for more information:
  • Experience working with young people or strong motivation to learn
  • Residential Out-of-Home Care Youth Work experience is highly desirable
  • Current Australian Driver’s Licence, Victorian Employee Working with Children Check and First Aid Certificate
  • Willingness to undergo a National Police Check (we’ll arrange this for you)
  • Commitment to ongoing training and trauma-informed practice
  • If you have lived outside of Australia for 12 months or more in the last 10 years, you will need to provide an International Police Check that has been processed in the last 3 months from any of the countries you have lived in.
  • Applicants must complete the mandatory upskilling units as required by Department of Families, Fairness and Housing. Continuing employment is dependent on satisfactory evidence provided within 6 months of being engaged in the role.

Why Work With Us?

  • Competitive SCHADS Award pay
  • Penalty rates for afternoon, night, and sleepover shifts
  • Salary packaging to increase your take-home pay (for permanent employees)
  • Ongoing learning: free internal training + $500 per year for external development
  • Access to professional debriefing and our Employee Assistance Program
  • Annual wage increases aligned with Fair Work or CPI

Recruitment Process

Our Recruitment Process Is Structured And Selective

  • Shortlisted candidates will attend a group interview
  • Successful applicants will progress to an individual interview
  • All compliance checks must be completed prior to offer

Successful Candidates Will Complete

  • 2 days induction training
  • 5 supported shadow shifts before independent work
