We are an organisation that has been delivering social support activities to adults and youth for over 53 years in the Banyule area.
As a Youth Support Worker, here is your chance to bring your experience and skills and join a dedicated team delivering youth-focused support activities to a diverse group of young people. These activities are run from our well-equipped community facility in Macleod as well as select times off-site. You will be making a difference to young people’s lives through engagement, fun activities and social connection as well as achieving personal satisfaction from the difference you make.
Consistent with many faith-based organisations our foundational beliefs underpin our identity and reason for service. Open House’s ethos and mission is based on our Christian principles and calling, to help those who are disadvantaged or in need (socially or economically excluded). Open House Board, staff, volunteers, and participants come from multi-faith and no faith backgrounds; mutual respect underpins our relations, and all are warmly welcomed.

This position would be perfect for someone who has the qualifications and experience in the running of activities and programs for youth in a community setting, including NDIS participants.
You must have excellent people skills, be a “fun person”, be patient, show genuine care and enjoy working with young active people and those with mild disabilities.
Other skills such as a passion for ball sports, cycling, hands-on crafts and hospitality would be a bonus as we are also involved in barista training and outdoor activities for youth.
