Some young people need more than a support worker.

They need someone who stays calm when things aren’t calm. Someone who can hold boundaries without losing connection. Someone who understands that trust is built slowly and consistency matters.

That’s what our Mentors do.

HYPAR Residential Care is looking for experienced, qualified Youth Workers to join our teams across Moreton Bay and Ipswich.

You’ll support young people in residential care who may have experienced significant trauma, instability and complex behaviours, helping create a home setting that is safe, therapeutic, stable and predictable.
