The role of a youth justice worker

Youth justice workers are the frontline staff who supervise and support young people in custody (young people).

This is not a dedicated case management or youth work role. You will follow and promote important security procedures every day and be a positive role model for complex young people. You will also set boundaries and reinforce expected behaviours.

Your work will help young people get their lives back on track by:

  • creating a safe and secure environment for both staff and young people
  • helping young people establish healthy routines and work to a daily structure
  • redirecting anti-social and challenging behaviour to the standards expected by the community
  • responding to incidents as they occur
  • helping young people develop positive family and peer relationships
  • facilitating support from other services, including health and mental health providers, educators and disability organisations.
