We are seeking a passionate, driven and high-achieving superstar to join our growing team of professionals. We would love to hear from you if you are motivated, values-driven, want to see children and young people in our community achieve, and enjoy a fast-paced and energetic team-based environment. We want staff with a will-do attitude, who understand that any support is better than no support at all, and thrive on the power of collaborative practice both within ICYS and alongside our key stakeholders.

About the Position: We are seeking an Intensive Case Support Worker to work alongside two other Intensive Case Support Workers as part of the wider ICYS Community Youth Response and Diversion (CYRD) team. The CYRD program is a Queensland Government funded initiative that is a locally driven, multi-faceted, culturally appropriate response for young people aged 10 to 17 years who are interacting with police, courts and/or the statutory Youth Justice system. CYRD initiatives have been funded in locations with high demand around the state and is targeted at young people who are at high risk of offending/re-offending and present with multiple complex issues that increase the likelihood of a trajectory of offending. The objective is to assist young people at risk of offending or reoffending to be linked with appropriate services and supports which divert them away from involvement with the criminal justice system.

About ICYS: ICYS Ipswich Community Youth Service, a not-for-profit community based organisation, has been providing assistance and support to at-risk children, young people, their families and their communities in the Ipswich and surrounding regions since 1983. As a multi-service organisation funded by four Queensland Government departments, ICYS provides a range of support programs and activities to assist and empower young people to make positive choices and decisions for their future.

For over 40 years, ICYS has been providing support and assistance to children and young people based on individual need including assistance with educational engagement, housing and homelessness, vocational training, employment assistance, crime prevention & intervention, information, referral, advocacy, practical assistance, drop-in, emergency relief and recreational activities in the Ipswich and surrounding regions. Each year ICYS provides direct services to over 3000 children and young people across six Local Government Areas (Ipswich, Somerset, Lockyer Valley, Scenic Rim, Logan and the western suburbs of Brisbane) from our offices in Ipswich and Lowood.
