Job description

The Reconnect Youth & Family Worker provides a holistic, early-intervention service that addresses immediate housing needs while supporting positive, long-term outcomes for young people and their families.

Through coordinated, practical, and family-centred support, the position helps create sustainable pathways that enable young people to overcome homelessness and thrive within their families and communities. This comprehensive approach strengthens family bonds, builds resilience, and reduces the risk of future homelessness and disengagement from education.
