If you're passionate about
clinical work with young people
and are looking to join a dedicated team that values your expertise, supports creativity and encourages qualified growth, you'll thrive at Statewide Rehabilitation Services (SRS).
Across our community offices as well as our custodial facilities at Cherry Creek and Parkville, we give young people involved in the justice system the consistent support they need.
As one of our senior clinicians, you will manage a dedicated team to create positive change and help young people rebuild their lives in partnership with families and communities.
Using evidence‐informed practice, you will guide them through
life‐changing shifts in mindset
, behaviour and self‐belief and empower them to make positive choices, learn new skills to reduce harmful behaviours and stay on track.
It's complex and challenging work. But it's
work that makes a real difference
both to young people's futures and to our state's safety.
You will:
Work within a forensic framework with young people who engage in serious offending behaviour and may present as a moderate to high risk of reoffending.
Use your skills and judgement to lead a team in providing therapeutic intervention to young people with complex needs and
build respectful,



supportive relationships
.
Help develop a strong team culture where peer support and collaboration are central to success.
Take part in
regular training and development
, with one day each month dedicated to your learning.

Our clinicians will tell you that the work here is its own reward. This is a unique opportunity to provide continued support to young people, working across a variety of youth justice settings.
However, there are also many other benefits of a clinical career in youth justice, including:
a comprehensive
clinical induction
opportunities for further professional development
sponsorship
of your professional membership such as AHPRA or AASW
ongoing support, with both informal and formal clinical and operational
supervision
.
