Full Job Description

Make 8-hour shifts count — More time to connect and make a real difference
Bring the skills you already have — coaching, early childhood, disability & more

This isn’t about being a perfect role model.

It’s about being a consistent one.

Young people in Residential Care don’t need someone who has all the answers.
They need adults who show up.
Adults who follow through.
Adults who set boundaries and keep them.
Adults who can have a laugh.
Adults who listen.
Adults who don’t give up when things get difficult.
Adults who can recognise that behaviour is communication — and take the time to understand what might be underneath it.
Most importantly, they need people who can help them experience what a safe, predictable and supportive environment feels like.

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can give a young person is consistency.

What we’re really looking for

You might be a great fit if you:

genuinely enjoy working with children and young people
can build trust while maintaining professional boundaries
are patient, calm and emotionally steady
communicate clearly and listen without judgement
can manage challenging situations without escalating them
are confident setting appropriate boundaries
can work as part of a team and follow individual support plans
are willing to learn and reflect on your practice
can bring warmth, humour and positivity to the home
understand that small moments can have a big impact
want to do work that genuinely matters

You don’t need to have all the answers.

You do need to be willing to learn, stay curious and keep showing up.

You'll Bring

A current Australian driver's licence (minimum P2).
A Working with Children Blue Card and NDIS Worker Screening Check, or willingness to obtain them.
Current First Aid and CPR certification, or willingness to obtain.
A completed or currently enrolled Certificate IV or Diploma in Community Services, Youth Work, Social Work or a related qualification.
Experience supporting people with complex behaviours, including using trauma-informed, person-centred approaches and maintaining safety during escalated situations.
Availability and flexibility to work a variety of shifts across a 7-day roster, including the ability to complete a minimum of two sleepover shifts per fortnight.

Want to Know More?
Sound like you? We’d love to hear from you. Hit apply now or reach out to Maddi Bray - Talent Acquisition Specialist, on 07 4111 1889 or via email [email protected].

Kanda is committed to creating and maintaining a child-safe organisation.
We’re dedicated to building an inclusive environment where everyone feels safe, respected, and comfortable to be themselves. At Kanda, every voice matters, every culture is valued, and we believe that diverse perspectives aren’t just welcome they’re essential to who we are and what we do.
