About Us:
DCC specialises in 24-hour residential care, allied health, outreach support, community access, supervised family contact, and transport. It is dedicated to creating a warm, friendly home environment for our children and young people and empowering them with the skills needed to live independent lives.

About the role:

DCC is seeking an experienced professional with a background in youth and forensic disability support to work with an adolescent client in a single-tenancy residential setting transitioning to adulthood. The role is grounded in a trauma-informed, therapeutic approach that prioritises safety, strong relationships, and long-term well-being.

The placement is based in a standalone property in Greenbank and operates with a 2:1 staffing ratio, sleepover support, and contingency hours to ensure consistency, safety, and staff wellbeing. The role works closely with a dedicated Program Manager and specialist care team, contributing directly to daily care, behaviour support, and meaningful engagement with the client.

This is a hands-on role suited to someone who is calm under pressure, confident in supporting high-risk behaviours, and committed to helping young people build stability and positive pathways forward.

Key responsibilities will include:

Provide direct, day-to-day support to a client with forensic disability and complex psychosocial needs within a single-tenancy residential setting
Build strong, respectful relationships that promote trust, emotional safety, and engagement

You understand the impact of trauma, disability, and system involvement on young people, and bring a calm, consistent, and professional approach to your work.

You will bring:

Demonstrated experience working with youth and young adults with disability, particularly forensic disability and psychosocial disability
Confidence supporting high-risk behaviours, including aggression, anti-social behaviour, and emotional dysregulation
Experience working in residential care, out-of-home care, disability, or similar high-intensity support settings
Strong skills in community engagement, helping young people build and sustain positive connections
A trauma-informed approach and willingness to work within therapeutic frameworks
Ability to remain calm, reflective, and responsive during challenging situations
Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively as part of a multidisciplinary team
Willingness to complete and apply Team Teach and TCI training

What's on Offer:

Generous hourly rates as per SCHADS 3.1 starting at $48/hour plus shift allowances
Flexibility across a 24/7 rotating rosters including sleepovers and actives
No use of personal vehicles whilst on shift
Post-crisis debriefing and full access to EAP services
