Family Support / Youth Worker

Looking for meaningful work that fits around your life — not the other way around?
  
At Kanda, we support local children, young people, and families through challenging times. We’re a trusted service in the region, and we’re looking for locals who care — whether you’re starting out or changing careers. This role is designed to be flexible, realistic, and sustainable, with the time, tools, and support to do good work well.
  
Why This Role Is Different
  • Admin from home – no need to stay back at the office
  • Flexible scheduling – work with families to find times that suit everyone
  • All your time is paid – shifts include travel, visits, and admin
  • Company car provided – travel from the office to families and back is part of your roster
  • Work phone & tablet supplied – work remotely and stay connected
  • Manageable caseloads – support just 2–3 families at a time
  • Varied, meaningful work – no two days are the same
  • Real professional development – training, mentoring, and growth opportunities
What You’ll Be Doing
  • Supporting children, young people, parents, carers, and families in their homes and community
  • Implement evidence-based interventions – from parenting strategies to life skills coaching
  • Connect families to community, education, and employment resources
  • Work collaboratively with Child Safety, government, and community partners to provide wrap-around support
  • Maintain documentation and case notes in line with standards and requirements
To join our team, you’ll need:
