Full Job Description

Closes: 20 September 2026

Classification: Youth Worker 1/2
Salary: $78,755 - $93,416 plus superannuation
Position No: 09107, Several
Directorate: Health and Community Services
Advertised (Gazettal date): 27 August 2026
Contact Officer: Eirene Apineru on [email protected] or (02) 6207 4732

Details: Bimberi Youth Justice Centre is the ACT’s only youth detention facility and provides 24-hour safe and secure custody for young people between the ages of 14 and 21 years, who are remanded in custody or sentenced by the ACT Children’s or Supreme Courts.

Youth Workers play an important role in supporting and supervising young people at the Bimberi. If you are passionate about changing lives for the better, becoming a Youth Worker is the ideal place to start. Bimberi’s youth workers act as role models by:

Supporting young people to establish healthy routines and develop independence.
Coaching young people in prosocial behaviour and building social skills to improve their positive community participation
engaging young people in education through ongoing encouragement and mentoring
helping young people to develop positive family and peer relationships
facilitating support from other services such as health and mental health providers, educators, and disability organisations
Maintaining a safe, healthy, caring and supportive environment for young people with a strong focus on promoting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, protocols and practices.

While care, supervision, safety and support form the foundation of the role, you will also need strong interpersonal and communication skills. We are looking for people who are:

Passionate about working with young people – you strive to engage and empower them to change their lives for the better.
Dedicated and resilient – you are committed to following procedures, can deal with confronting situations and thrive on challenges.
Proactive – you are constantly thinking of new ways to solve problems and address issues.

If you are mature and open-minded, your life experiences will enable you to connect and communicate with young people from many different backgrounds. Working intensively with young people every day means there’s no end to what you can learn and how you can grow in your career.

Youth Workers are required to work shift work and provide direct supervision and guidance to young people, supporting them through all elements of their day. Youth Workers play an important role in identifying and managing risk and maintaining the safety and security of Bimberi Youth Justice Centre.

As this role is likely to work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people and families, cultural awareness, and capacity to work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people is required.

Successful applicants will be provided with nine weeks paid induction training that covers topics including legislative obligations, Human Rights, trauma informed and therapeutic practice, responding to critical situations (including Use of Force) and behaviour management.

Health and Community Services Directorate (HCSD) is an inclusive employer where all people are respected and valued for their contribution. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where people with diverse thoughts, lived experience, and perspectives can thrive and contribute their unique talents to the ACT Public Service (ACTPS) and ACT community. We encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people with disability, people with culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, veterans, younger and older workers, and people with diverse genders, sexes and sexualities to apply.

Notes: Ther are several permanent, temporary and casual roles may be filled based on operational requirements and the business needs of the organisation.

Selection will be based on application, suitability assessment, interview, medical/fitness (beep test) assessment, National Police Check and Working with Vulnerable People Card.
