CARERS REQUIRED (Volunteer)
Adolescent Community Placement Program
Do you want to return something back to the community? Here is your chance to work with an organisation that makes a difference in the lives of vulnerable children and young people in our community.
St Luke’s recruits people to provide a variety of care options for children and young people of all ages. On this occasion we are specifically looking for adolescent carers.
Carers would need to:
· Undergo an assessment process, inclusive of training
· Possess a strong capacity to provide care for young people
· Demonstrate an ability to work as part of a team with St Luke’s, the Department of Human Services, various professionals, young people and at times their families
· Be willing to undergo a range of checks such as Police, Working with Children, Home Environment etc.
Providing stability, security and a safe physical and emotional environment is an extraordinary means to making a difference, providing hope and a future for a young person.
Financial reimbursement is provided fortnightly to recompense costs of maintaining the daily needs of an extra young person in your home.
To strengthen the process, a 24 hour a day support mechanism is provided by the St Luke’s after hour’s service.
