This proactive approach to Case Management is characterised by a high level of contact with the young person, with an intensity of relationship, and strong participation in decision-making by both the young person and, where appropriate, family members and significant others. The services are multidisciplinary and provide intensive youth outreach programs for young people.

Selection Criteria:

• A relevant tertiary qualification such as a degree in Social Work, and one year's experience in the provision of support to young persons with complex needs and challenging high risk behaviours.
• An understanding of the developmental and therapeutic needs of young people who have experienced trauma, abuse and neglect.
