Full Job Description

Support young people in the community through skilled and thoughtful case management, backed by a strong team
Make grounded decisions that balance care, clear boundaries and sound judgement.
Ongoing and fixed term full-time roles earning $77,150 - $94,730 per year, plus super.

What you will do

As youth justice case manager, you will supervise young people on court orders and help guide them through complex moments in their lives.

While you will work directly with young people at times, much of your impact will come from the assessment, planning and administrative tasks that shape court and care decisions.

You will:

supervise young people on statutory orders using sound judgement and clear professional boundaries
deliver evidence-based case management that focuses on realistic, meaningful progress
prepare clear and accurate court reports, plans and recommendations
work closely with families, courts and services to support accountability and rehabilitation
manage competing priorities in a role where adaptability matters more than perfection.

`We're working sometimes with the most vulnerable young people in Victoria. A small shift or a small achievement in their life might seem like a small thing, but it's a very big thing in their life.' - Paul, Youth Justice Case Manager.

This work is demanding and emotionally complex. If one task is done, there will always be something new to do. You will see progress in the young people you case manage, but change is often gradual rather than dramatic. However, watching the accumulation of small shifts that build over time will inspire you to continue your vital work.

You will not be doing this alone. You will work in a team where support is built into the job. Regular supervision and debriefing will help you manage risk, process difficult work and make confident decisions under pressure.

These positions are based in Dandenong, and you will work flexibly across different locations within the South East Metro Region including Ringwood and Frankston to support young people and their families.

Successful applicants will be provided with all necessary training to support performance of the role.

About you

If you can use organisation and communication skills to guide real change in young people, this role is for you.

A relevant qualification in either social work, youth work, psychology, human services, criminology, or criminal justice (desirable). Final year students are encouraged to apply for Case Manager positions.

A current Working with Children Check card is essential and will need to be provided prior to commencement of employment. Currency must be maintained for the period of your employment.

A full driver's licence is also required.

You should also have:

the ability to apply case management principles with young people who have complex needs
strong written and verbal communication skills for report writing and interacting with stakeholders
the capacity to stay calm, regulate yourself and keep working after difficult conversations
an openness to supervision and feedback in a role where learning never stops.

To learn even more about what we look for in new youth justice case managers, please read the position description.

What to expect in our application process.

Stage 1: Application screening - we will carefully review your application documents on a rolling basis. You can expect timely communication from us regarding the status of your application.

Stage 2: Video Interview (15 minutes) - this is an online video interview where you will answer questions that will help us understand your background, motivations and initial fit with youth justice.

Stage 3: Assessment centre - This will involve a case study and panel interview in person - 90 minutes. Here you will be invited to also complete Security Checks which include a National Coordinated Criminal History Check (NCCHC) and an Australian Entitlement to Work Check via Fit2work.

Stage 4: Application mandatory checks - Should you progress past the assessment centre, you will be required to provide two referee details and are required to provide a copy of your current Employee Working with Children Check card.

Stage 5: Offer - If you have successfully made it here, expect to hear about an offer from Recruitment and the next steps for bringing you on board.

Further information on the application process can be found on the information sheet attached.
