Therapeutic Youth Support Worker
Permanent Part-Time (PPT) positions available across South East & South West Regions.
Offering PPT is part of a deliberate shift toward a more
structured, consistent, and therapeutic rostering model
, designed to improve outcomes for young people while providing greater stability
and security for staff.
About the Roster Model
Successful applicants will be allocated to a
fixed roster line (B, C or D)
, working within a structured team model alongside a Senior Therapeutic Support Worker.
These roster lines are designed to
fully
cover baseline program operations
(typically 6:00am – 10:00pm plus sleepover), ensuring consistency in staffing and care delivery.
A key feature of these roles is the
predictability and stability they provide,
both for staff and, critically, for the young people we support.
Consistent faces, routines, and relationships are central to therapeutic practice and positive outcomes.
