Hillbank, SA, Australia, 5112

Community and Client Services

Permanent Part-Time

Jo’s is an innovative and unique residential service in South Australia, providing a home for young people who are unable to live with their families due to child protection concerns.

Jo’s is more than accommodation — it is a stable, nurturing home environment where young people are supported to heal from trauma, build meaningful connections, and develop the life skills they need to transition into adulthood.

We are seeking Therapeutic Youth Workers who understand that residential care is not a typical shift-based role - it is a 24/7 home environment that relies on consistency, responsibility, and strong life skills. The role could be based in Golden Grove or Hillbank as we have multiple roles.

About the Role

This is a hands-on, home-based role. You will be actively involved in creating a safe, structured and well-managed household where young people can thrive.

Key responsibilities include:

Building authentic, therapeutic relationships with young people to support their identity, growth and development
Supporting daily living routines including cooking, cleaning, nutrition, hygiene, school engagement, appointments and extracurricular activities
Maintaining a well-organised, safe and welcoming home environment
Role modelling positive life skills, respectful communication and healthy relationships
Providing crisis intervention, co-regulation and support during complex behavioural presentations
Contributing to household structure, routines and shared responsibilities

This role operates on a 24/7 roster, including passive nights, sleepovers, weekends and public holidays. Reliability and flexibility are essential.

What We’re Looking For

This role suits individuals who are:

Comfortable working in a home environment and taking shared responsibility for its day-to-day management
Organised, proactive and capable of maintaining routines and structure
Emotionally regulated and able to respond calmly during crisis situations
Consistent, dependable and committed to roster requirements
Confident in modelling independent living skills such as cooking, budgeting and maintaining a household

Essential Requirements

Bachelor Degree or Certificate IV in Social Services (Social Work, Social Science, Youth Work or related discipline)
Students currently studying Community Services are encouraged to apply
Availability to work across a 24/7 rotating roster including sleepovers
Experience working with young people with complex behaviour presentations
Experience managing conflict and crisis
Full, unrestricted Australian Driver’s Licence

Please note: A partially completed university degree meets the minimum qualification requirements.

This is an excellent opportunity to build your career in therapeutic residential care while completing your studies.
