About the Role:

The Youth Pathways & Reconnection Program is a case management service primarily focused on supporting young people who are newly homeless or at risk of homelessness. This program provides an early intervention response to prevent young people from entering the homelessness service system and to assist them to remain connected to family and their community.

It has been recognised that youth homelessness extends into adulthood. Therefore, this service places significance upon the promotion and support of reconciliation with families with the aim of the young person remaining at, or returning home.

The position will also be required to provide case management support for young people presenting or residing at the Wodonga Youth Refuge who are residing there in a voluntary capacity. The program offers support, advocacy, referral, and practical assistance to engage young people in the program and assists young people to identify and achieve their goals.

Selection Criteria:

A relevant tertiary qualification such as Social Work, Welfare or Behavioural Science and/or proven experience relevant to this role.

Knowledge of mediation principles and processes and/or demonstrated ability to facilitate mediation with young people and their families.

An understanding of issues related to youth homelessness and how to address them.
