Right now, we are recruiting for new casual and full-time roles at Parkville Youth Justice Precinct, situated in the heart of the city just 3kms north of Melbourne CBD.

You don't need formal qualifications to become a Youth Justice Worker. In fact, we'll train you. Just bring your life experience and a passion for working with young people, and we'll offer you job security, paid training (including a fully-funded Certificate) and an opportunity to create positive change.

Parkville is a safe and secure place where young people can work on getting their lives back on track, supported by evidence-based programs and services. We want young people to return home with the confidence that they can thrive in their own communities.

The role of a youth justice worker at Parkville

Youth justice workers empower young people to steer their lives in a positive direction. They work in a safe and secure custodial environment and act as part of an extended network of care for young people in custody, helping them work to a daily structure, achieve key goals and develop life skills.

It can be challenging work where you'll need resilience to manage difficult situations, but in return for your skills and life experience, we offer paid training (including a Cert IV in youth justice), job security and a wide range of benefits.

We look for:

  • passion and empathy – the willingness to work with children and young people
