Description

Deliver support service (both during and after hours), in collaboration with the QPS, by effectively responding to, engaging with and assessing the risks and needs of children and young people that come to the attention of police to minimise or prevent the likelihood of involvement or further entrenchment in the youth justice system.

Proactively and effectively engage with children and young people to deliver support services, including referring young people to programs and agencies; linking young people in with their families and support persons; and connecting with Youth Justice Counterparts to inform case management activities.
Engage with and establish partnerships with a broad range of internal and external stakeholders and service providers, including the QPS, in a number of local areas, to achieve quality casework outcomes.
Undertake a range of record and information management tasks including maintenance of case records, preparation of reports, performance reporting and date entry to inform casework and accountability.
Develop strong links to Youth Justice Service Centre counterparts and share information to inform improved court and case management activities in both community and custodial settings.
Actively participate in training and professional development activities to develop, maintain and enhance knowledge and competencies to ensure that service delivery is based on contemporary, evidence based, best practice principles and is consistent with current practice trends and objectives.
Actively participate in and contribute to the good governance and objectives of the region and department.
Contribute to an organisational culture that ensures sensitive and effective communication with people from other cultures including people from Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander backgrounds and be responsive to cultural protocols to ensure they are embedded in service delivery.
