Full Job Description

Support Worker – Children Services (ITM)

Location: Tamworth

Position Types: Part-Time & Casual

Ready to make a lasting impact?

At Westhaven, we believe support is about more than just care. It’s about empowerment, healing, and hope. We are seeking dedicated Support Workers to join our expanding team supporting children and young people

This role operates within Westhaven’s Immediate Transition Model (ITM), designed to support children and young people with complex needs and trauma backgrounds. Through trauma-informed care, structured support, and daily guidance, you will help create a safe, stable environment where young people can build confidence and thrive.

Why Join the Westhaven Family?

Competitive Pay: Earn $36.22 – $39.53 per hour (SCHADS Award) + casual/shift loadings + 12% Super.
Massive Tax Savings: Maximise your take-home pay with up to $15,900 in tax-free salary packaging plus a $2,650 meal and entertainment card.
Career Progression: Structured pathways into Team Leader and specialist roles within Children Services.
Lifestyle Perks: Access to Fitness Passport (for permanent staff) and exclusive staff discounts.
Supportive Start: Benefit from a mandatory one-week comprehensive induction program to set you up for success.

Your Impact: A Day in the Life

As a Support Worker, no two days are the same. You will provide 24/7 relational and therapeutic support by:

Providing a safe, nurturing, and structured home environment for young people.
Supporting daily living skills, emotional regulation, and personal development.
Facilitating community engagement, educational support, and recreational activities.
Note: As children and young people require round-the-clock care, 24/7 shift availability (including active night shifts, weekends, and sleepovers) is required.

Qualifications & Essential Criteria

Qualifications & Experience:

Certificate IV in Child, Youth and Family Intervention (or relevant qualification), or as per the Residential Care Competency Framework (when implemented), or a Diploma in Community Services (or related field) preferred.
Previous experience in residential care, youth work, or providing direct care to children and young people.
Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander applicants: A formal qualification is desirable, but relevant experience and a willingness to participate in training is warmly welcomed and accepted.

Essentials:

Valid NSW Driver’s Licence.
Current First Aid & CPR Certification.
Paid Working with Children Check (WWCC) & NDIS Worker Screening Check.
Willingness to be listed on the Residential Care Workers Register (RCWR).
