In this position, you will also provide information to other professionals regarding the young people, as well as completing reports, updating records and other compliance requirements.
We are currently seeking individuals to join our motivated team on a casual basis in Bendigo. Applicants are also encouraged to apply specifically for Active Night shifts if this is their preference for employment.
Our homes operate on a 24/7 basis, thus successful applicants must be available to work a roster including evenings, overnights, weekends and public holidays.

We are looking for people who have:
- Certificate IV in Child, Youth and Family Intervention (Residential and Out of Home Care), or other similar or relevant tertiary qualifications;
- A commitment towards the principles and practice of quality care in residential settings for the most vulnerable and disadvantaged young people, and to promote autonomy and self-determination for clients;
- Demonstrated understanding of, and respect for, cultural and linguistic diversity (CALD), including cultural safety for children from CALD backgrounds;
- Excellent communication skills, including abilities in engaging well with young people and working collaboratively with other staff and professionals; and
- Flexibility in working hours – particularly night shift.
This is a fantastic opportunity to build upon your current experience while working within a specialised environment. This position also offers a great team environment as part of an evolving, values-driven organisation.
