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.

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
