Build better futures for young people. Create positive change from the inside out.

  • Bring your passion and therapeutic skills to our new state-of-the-art facility
  • Earn up to $93,639, with a base salary of $74,580 including standard penalty rates and overtime
  • Full training provided including a fully funded Certificate IV in Youth Justice
  • Relocation allowance for eligible candidates

We're currently recruiting for casual, part-time and full-time roles at our new state-of-the-art, purpose-built Youth Justice Precinct at Cherry Creek, just outside Werribee.

Set in the picturesque area of Little River, Cherry Creek is a safe and secure place where young people can work on getting their lives back on track. Their efforts are 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 so young people live in four-bed and eight-bed units across different neighbourhoods, each equipped with kitchen, living and outdoor areas to support independent living skills.

The role of a youth justice worker at Cherry Creek

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 you
