About You

  • Qualifications in Youth Work, Social Work, or Community Services, plus current First Aid, WWCC, and NDIS worker screening check.
  • Experience working with vulnerable, disengaged, or NDIS-participating young people (minimum 6 months)

  • Understanding of NDIS principles, trauma-informed and strengths-based practice
  • Ability to work independently in community settings
  • Commitment to inclusion, safety, and the rights of young people

Why Join Us?
