Support Worker | Children’s Services

Change a Child's Story. Grow Your Own

Purpose. Career growth. Real impact.

Could you be the person a young person remembers because you showed up when they needed you most?

At Aruma, you’ll support children and young people aged 5–18 who have experienced trauma, loss and disruption. You’ll help them feel safe, build trust, discover their strengths and develop the confidence and skills to thrive.

Some days you’ll be kicking a footy, heading out into the community or celebrating a big achievement. Other days, you’ll be helping a young person navigate a difficult moment.

It’s not always easy. But it matters.

And while you help young people grow, we’ll help you grow too.

New Services. New Team. New Opportunities.

Whether you’re experienced in residential care or ready to take your first step into the sector, this is an opportunity to build a meaningful career with a team that invests in you.

What You’ll Do

As a Support Worker, you’ll help create a safe, nurturing and inclusive home where young people can be themselves, build relationships and work towards their goals.

You’ll:

Build genuine, trusting relationships with children and young people
Support everyday life including school, appointments, life skills and recreation
Create safe, trauma-informed and developmentally appropriate environments
Support young people to build independence, confidence and resilience
Encourage participation in sport, music, art, community activities and hobbies
Help young people navigate challenges and celebrate their successes
Advocate for their rights, voice, choices and aspirations
Work collaboratively with families, schools, therapeutic professionals and your team

No two shifts are the same. That’s part of what makes the work so rewarding.

This Is More Than Residential Care

Residential care isn’t simply about managing behaviours.

It’s about understanding the story behind them.

Children and young people in out-of-home care may have experienced significant adversity. Your consistency, patience and ability to build relationships can help create the safety and trust they need to move forward.

A conversation.

A shared laugh.

A successful school day.

A first step towards independence.

The small moments can become the big moments.

Bring Your HEART to Work

At Aruma, we believe every child and young person deserves dignity, inclusion, choice and the opportunity to live the life they want.

Our HEART values guide how we work:

Human Rights Warriors – champion dignity, inclusion and equality

Enjoy Life – create moments of joy, connection and possibility

Awesome Participants – support young people to live the lives they choose

Revolutionary Spirit – challenge the status quo and find better ways

Terrific Teams – work alongside people who care as much as you do

What’s In It For You?

We know meaningful work is only part of the picture. You also want to know that your employer will invest in your future.

At Aruma, we want your first role with us to be the beginning of a career — not simply your next job. As you grow your skills and experience, you’ll have opportunities to develop, step into leadership and pursue further learning.

Salary packaging up to $15,900, plus $2,650 meals and entertainment

Emerging Leaders Programs designed to help you build leadership capability, confidence and experience for your next career step

Genuine Career pathways into Service Leader, Service Management and other leadership roles

Flexible rostering across days, evenings, weekends and sleepovers

Ongoing training and development in trauma-informed practice, therapeutic care and leadership

Scholarship opportunities to support further study, qualifications and professional growth

Fitness Passport and health & wellbeing benefits

Employee Assistance Program for you and your family

Discounted health insurance

BRAVE Awards to recognise your contribution

Your first role with Aruma doesn’t have to be your last.

Whether you want to deepen your expertise, gain a qualification, explore leadership or take your career in a new direction, we’ll support you to keep learning and growing.

Start where you are. Build your skills. Discover what’s possible.

Are You the Person We’re Looking For?

You don’t need to have all the answers.

You do need to care, be willing to learn and show up.

You’ll be someone who is:

Passionate about helping children and young people succeed
Patient, empathetic and able to build trust
Curious, reflective and open to learning
Reliable, resilient and emotionally aware
A strong communicator and team player
Committed to human rights, inclusion and choice
Comfortable working across a 24/7 residential care environment

A Certificate IV in Child, Youth and Family Intervention (Residential Care) or equivalent is highly regarded, including those currently working towards the qualification.

You’ll also need:

First Aid and CPR
Working With Children Check
NDIS Worker Screening Check
Current driver’s licence and insured vehicle

The Roster

This is a 24/7 service, so your roster may include:

Day shifts
Evening shifts
Sleepovers
Weekends
Public holidays

Flexibility and consistency are important to help young people experience the stability they deserve.

Every Child Matters. Your Work Can Make the Difference.

At Aruma, we’re not just filling shifts.

We’re building teams of people who believe every child deserves safety, belonging and the opportunity to reach their potential.

If you want a job where you can make a genuine difference, be part of a supportive team and build a career with purpose, we’d love to hear from you.

Bring your HEART. Build your career. Change a child’s story.

Apply today. Visit Aruma’s Careers Page to view current vacancies or register your interest.
