About the role

This is not a security job with long stretches of downtime. You will speak directly to young people throughout the night, typically through their intercom. When they feel vulnerable, they may reach out. Some conversations will be raw and personal. You will listen with care and compassion while still keeping firm boundaries.

- Conduct regular wellbeing checks of young people
- Redirect anti-social and challenging behaviour
- Monitor CCTV, complete compliance reporting, and respond to any alarms
- Respond to incidents as they occur
- Facilitate support from other services, including health and mental health providers, educators and disability organisations

We’re currently offering up to $10,000 as a relocation allowance to help cover costs for eligible candidates who are interested in moving to within an hour’s drive of the facility.
