The Youth and Community Safety Services (YCSS) Division brings together a range of programs that support Aboriginal children, youth and the community to improve safety, education, health and wellbeing outcomes. The Division includes Brown Street youth services, Town Camp youth services, Patrols and Looking After the Kids (LATK).
Brown Street and Town Camp youth services provide planned and intentional activities and supports for young people, which aim to build their social and emotional skills, support their development, provide a referral to other services and strengthen engagement by young people with education, training and employment. The range of supports provided by YCSS is known as the Youth Development Model (YDM).
The Youth Connection and Transport Worker (YCTW) will work with young people who may be at-risk or are becoming involved in anti-social activities due to being in Alice Springs and where there are appropriate alternative care arrangements in another community. The YCTW will work with the young person, their carers and other services to identify alternative care arrangements and support returning to country. This may include driving young people to remote communities. Young people will be identified in various ways, including referral from other services, active outreach as part of the YDM or engagement with Patrols and LATK.
As part of their work in YCSS, the YCTW will also provide support and transport for young people to maintain engagement in community activities, including sports and recreation, arts and culture, education and training.
The work hours for the role will generally be in the afternoon and evenings to reflect our clients’ needs.
