Malmsbury Youth Justice Precinct (Malmsbury) in central Victoria is reopening and will house a small group of young men in custody (young people) aged 17 and over.

creating a safe and secure environment for both staff and young people
working directly with children and young people in a custodial environment, including regular observation
redirecting anti-social and challenging behaviour




responding to incidents as they occur
helping young people develop positive relationships
facilitating support from other services, including health and mental health providers, educators and disability organisations.

To be successful, you will be a keen problem solver with outstanding situational awareness, but this job can be tough and at times, your resilience will be tested.

However, by putting in the work, you will see young people make small shifts in their thinking that can have a major impact on their lives and community safety.
