Our comprehensive range of programmes and services relies on collaborative relationships with individuals, businesses, community groups and government bodies to create focused, effective and responsive resources for the community.

Position Overview
Are you passionate about making a meaningful impact in the lives of children and youth with diverse needs? We are seeking a compassionate and dedicated Child and Youth Care Counsellor to support children aged 5 to 18 , helping them unlock their full potential through personalised care and support. If you're ready to inspire growth and development in a dynamic, community‑based setting, we want to hear from you!

Reporting to the Program Manager, the successful candidate will be responsible for assessing client needs, developing individualised strategies, and establishing indicators to measure progress toward goals. They will implement and facilitate these strategies—primarily in community‑based settings—and evaluate client progress through detailed reports and activity notes.



The role includes providing recreational, educational and social learning opportunities, promoting peer interaction and maintaining a clean and organised environment. Responsibilities also include participating in events, offering feedback to current staff and attending case review meetings. The counsellor will manage schedules, record expenses and collaborate with other professionals.

A Class 4 driver’s licence (or the ability to obtain one within six months) and access to a reliable vehicle are required, along with a valid Level I First Aid certificate.

Strong interpersonal, counselling, communication and organisational skills are essential, as are creativity, flexibility and the ability to work independently. Experience in group facilitation, programme development and a solution‑focused approach is highly valued. The successful candidate must demonstrate the ability to work effectively as part of a team and uphold a high standard of confidentiality.

*An eligibility list may be maintained for up to six months. Eligible applicants may be offered a casual position.

This role requires the incumbent to undergo a Police Information Check (PIC) and a Vulnerable Sector Check by the Ministry of Justice.
