Help young people build confidence, stability and a brighter future
The right support at the right time can change the direction of a young person's life. If you're someone who builds trust, stays calm through challenges and wants your work to have a genuine impact, this is an opportunity to make a difference every day. You'll be supported with leading trauma-informed training, practical frameworks and a team that's there when you need them.
Our current opportunities
We're recruiting both Casual and Permanent Part-Time Workers, with a strong preference for candidates who have sleepover availability as part of their regular roster.
We're also recruiting for:
Supported Independent Living shifts that do not include sleepovers.
Flexible community support shifts ranging from 4–8 hours, delivered across the day between 6:00am and 10:00pm.
Whether you're looking for flexible casual work or a regular permanent part-time roster, we'd love to hear from you.
What you'll be doing
- Provide safe, stable and therapeutic support for young people with complex needs, including those with NDIS funding and trauma-based behaviours, helping them feel valued, understood and empowered.
- Build trusted relationships that help young people grow in confidence, develop essential life skills and work towards their individual goals.
- Support young people to engage in daily routines, education, appointments, meaningful activities and facilitate and supervise family time in line with their individual care plans.
- Work collaboratively with your team to deliver person-centred care that reflects each young person's strengths, goals and support needs.
