• Meet contract, performance, and practice requirements, upholding ethical and professional standards.
• Contribute to practice improvements in Aftercare, promoting high standards of service delivery.
• Foster a culture that values young people’s autonomy and self-determination.
• Provide advocacy, mentoring, and practical support based on trauma-informed care and Advantaged Thinking principles — with a strong understanding of the Advantaged Thinking view.
• Build trusting, respectful partnerships with young people, recognising their strengths and highlighting future possibilities.
• A high level of face-to-face contact is expected to effectively build relationships with the young people we support, unless the client has indicated a preference for remote assistance.

• Review and implement aftercare plans, addressing support gaps and facilitating referrals to relevant services.
• Support engagement in employment, training, and education.
• Conduct post-exit check-ins to ensure ongoing wellbeing and smooth transitions.
• Deliver intensive aftercare support, including case management, goal planning, and service coordination.
• Provide direct support in developing independent living skills and strengthening connections to family, culture, and community.
• Deliver holistic, personalised mentoring and facilitate group sessions on topics including social skills, job readiness, financial literacy, and health and wellbeing.

Your Qualifications & Experience

• A deep understanding of the difference between a caseworker and the role of a coach — empowering rather than directing.
• Exceptional relationship-building and advocacy skills.
• A “can-do” attitude, with the flexibility to adapt to changing needs and priorities.
• Energy to match the pace and enthusiasm of young people.
• A commitment to prioritising supervisions and case reviews to ensure best practice.
• Passion to make a genuine difference in someone’s life through trust, relationship, and energy.
• Skill in helping young people dream big, break down goals into achievable steps, and navigate barriers along the way.
• Willingness and availability to travel regularly to meet young people where they are regionally located, promote the Specialist Aftercare program, engage in team-building activities and skill development and training.
• Strong organisational skills and ability to meet reporting obligations with accuracy and timeliness.
• Flexible working hours where needed to meet the needs of young people and the program.

• Current NSW driver’s licence and NSW WWCC
