At Lifestyle Solutions, being a Therapeutic Youth Worker (TYW) is more than a job — it’s a commitment to stand alongside children, young people, and people living with disability in some of the most important moments of their lives.

We believe everyone is equal. Every voice matters. Every experience is valid. And every young person deserves to feel safe, valued, and understood.

As a Therapeutic Youth Worker, you don’t just provide care — you create the conditions for change.

Hear from some our team members about this important and meaningful role.

  
Guided by the CARE (Children And Residential Experiences) framework, your role is to:

• Build trusting, meaningful relationships that help young people feel safe and connected
• Bring a developmental and trauma-informed lens to everyday interactions
• Show unconditional respect, even in the most challenging moments
• Work collaboratively as part of a team to create predictable, supportive environments
• Focus on strengths, not deficits — helping young people and people with disability grow, learn, and thrive

In line with the expectations of state regulators, you are a role model, advocate and protector — someone who makes sure the safety, wellbeing and rights of children and young people are upheld every day, while supporting their individual goals, culture, identity and independence.

This is work where the small things matter most — a calm response, a kept promise, a moment of genuine connection.

• We’re looking for people who show up with purpose.
• Who do what they say they’ll do.
• Who understand that real impact happens in everyday moments.

If you want to be part of something meaningful — where people are at the centre, where practice is purposeful, and where you can truly make a difference — then Lifestyle Solutions is a place you can be proud to belong.
