As Youturn transitions into the Lead Agency role for headspace Port Augusta, we want to acknowledge the incredible work that current team members do each day to support young people, families and communities across the region.
We understand that periods of change can bring uncertainty, and we are committed to approaching this transition with openness, respect and genuine care for our people. We are now inviting current employees to express their interest in continuing in the role of Outreach Engagement & Support Worker.
Job Description
This role is often the first point of connection for young people and families accessing support. Working closely with the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) and the broader headspace team, the Outreach Engagement & Support Worker helps young people navigate services, strengthens community connections, supports access to care, and delivers outreach activities across Port Augusta and surrounding remote communities.
Desired Skills and Experience
We'd Love to Hear From You If You:
Are passionate about supporting young people to access the help they need.
Build positive, trusting relationships with young people, families and communities.
Have experience in youth work, community services, mental health, social services or a related field.
Value culturally safe, inclusive and strengths-based practice.
Bring relevant qualifications, experience and a commitment to improving outcomes for young people and their wellbeing.
Your Expression of Interest
Rather than a formal application, we'd simply love to hear from you about:
Why you are interested in continuing in this role.
The skills, experience and strengths you would bring.
Any relevant qualifications, training or professional experience that support your practice.
Applicants will be invited to a conversation with the panel to discuss their experience, aspirations and suitability for the role.
At Youturn, we believe every young person deserves to feel connected, supported and heard. We look forward to hearing your story and exploring how we can continue making a positive impact in the lives of young people and communities across Port Augusta and the surrounding regions.
