Join our team at Weave and support individual and collective wellbeing and healing in the communities we walk alongside.
About Weave
Weave Youth & Community Services is a place-based, community-led organisation located on unceded Gadigal and Bidjigal Lands in Sydney, with a deep and long-standing commitment to the communities we walk alongside. Our purpose is to support individual and collective wellbeing and healing in the communities we walk alongside.
Weave began in 1976, when a group of local Aboriginal women in Redfern/Waterloo advocated for support and services for local young people. We are grateful to those strong, determined women. Their vision for better opportunities for young people remains at the heart of our work today. We have continued to design services with and for the communities we support, ensuring that our impact is meaningful, and transformative.
Our diverse and holistic range of programs and services support children, young people, women and families, many of whom have been impacted by systemic disadvantage and intergenerational trauma. We provide consistent, trusted support and genuine care to our communities, including:
- Wrap-around support for children, young people and families who face challenges including poverty, lack of access to opportunities, homelessness, racism and discrimination.
- Intensive, specialist support for women and children impacted by domestic and family violence and abuse.
- Holistic support for young people impacted by mental health and drug and alcohol issues.
- Tailored support for people leaving prison or otherwise involved in the criminal justice system, to give them the best chance of a successful life away from the criminal justice system.
- Support to obtain a driver’s licence; and free tutoring support for children and young people who otherwise couldn’t afford it.
- Events and creative projects, designed with our communities, that bring people together and celebrate the strength and stories of the people and communities we walk alongside.
Staff benefits include:
- Excellent pay and employment conditions including paid shut down period at Christmas time, paid study leave, access to clinical supervision and a strong commitment to staff professional development.
- Opportunity to work alongside a dedicated, experienced, professional staff team who bring genuine passion and commitment to their work.
