Youth Liaison Officer - Youth Programs

St Vincent de Paul Society - Canberra/Goulburn

The St Vincent de Paul Society Canberra/Goulburn has been serving the local community since 1924. We are a charity offering a ‘hand up’ to people in need, regardless of their creed, ethnic, social background, health, gender or political opinion. We do this by respecting peoples' dignity, sharing our hope and by encouraging people to take control of their own destiny. We help people in a large geographic area surrounding the ACT - to Lake Cargelligo in the west, across the Snowy Mountains to Tumut, down to Eden, up to Batemans Bay and inland to Crookwell. The Society’s services are the result of the combined effort of our members, volunteers and employees.

All about our Position

The Youth and Young Adults team is a growing and vibrant part of the Society in Canberra/Goulburn that covers all aspects of engagement with young people in the work of the Society.

We are looking for someone to join our small and close-knit team as a Youth Liaison Officer in Youth Programs. You will need to have a high level of administration and ICT skills, experience in planning and delivering youth-related programs, demonstrated problem solving skills, and be familiar with trauma-informed practices.

You will be responsible for planning, coordinating, and implementing overnight camps and activities to meet the needs of the children and young people that we assist; work together with youth members and volunteers to ensure successful program delivery; and assisting with our school engagement activities when needed.

You will need a valid ACT Working With Vulnerable People Card (or ability to obtain one) as well as tertiary qualifications in Youth Work, Education, Youth Ministry, Social Science, Human Services or a related discipline. A mobile telephone will be provided and use of a fleet vehicle as required.
