    • Assist and support vulnerable children and young people in care while providing valuable skills and a formal qualification

    We offer a unique opportunity to work with DCP, an organisation committed to nurturing the potential of every young person.

    As a Care Specialist for Vulnerable Youth, you will play a key role in guiding and empowering these young minds to become confident and capable. Your dedication and commitment will contribute significantly to creating a more inclusive and compassionate society.

    You will be part of a team that contributes to:

    • Guiding and assisting with personal care needs, including meals, meal preparation and hygiene
    • Planning or attending activities and following daily routines to promote life skills
    • Offering trauma-informed care, and supporting children and young people to manage challenging behaviours
    • Assessing the individual needs of children and young people
    • Ensuring appropriate levels of safety and supervision are maintained at all times
    • Developing the social and living skills of children and young people to facilitate their effective transition into the community and/or reunification or reconnection with their families

    Benefits:

This also requires you to have resilience and good professional boundaries.

    To excel in this role, you should have:

    • Relevant job or volunteer experience with young people or possess transferable skills from working in a related field (for example, childcare, aged care, community service, SSO in schools, or disability support)

    • South Australian Working with Children Check
    • First Aid certificate - HLTAID012 - Provide Emergency First Aid in an Education Setting

    $67,589 - $72,033 per annum + 11.5% Superannuation

    Estimated Salary Range: Based on industry standards, the estimated salary range for this role is between $70,000 and $75,000 per annum.
