Weave Kool Kids Program Youth & Community Worker Roles

We are recruiting for one part-time role (2 days per week) and a casual pool of 3 people who have flexibility to be called in for occasional shifts from time to time. The roles are located at our Weave Kool Kids Program office on Bidjigal Land in Malabar with programs and activities run in various locations.

Weave Youth & Community Services is a place-based community organisation located on unceded Gadigal and Bidjigal Land in Sydney, that has been delivering a range of programs, supports and services developed with and for the community for 50 years. 

Weave’s purpose is to support individual and collective wellbeing and healing in the communities we walk alongside. Weave supports children, young people, women and families who are impacted by systemic disadvantage and intergenerational trauma. Around 70% of all those we support across Weave are Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people. As a non-Aboriginal controlled organisation, Weave is strongly committed to walking alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in their ongoing fight for justice and self-determination. Our work at every level is guided by our Aboriginal Healing Framework.

About the Youth & Community Worker roles:

The Youth and Community Worker role is supported by the Weave Kool Kids Program Manager to design and implement strengths-based, culturally responsive, trauma-informed, fun programs after school and during the school holidays with a strong focus on building skills and resilience and creating opportunities for young people. Programs include sports and arts based activities including programs for young people transitioning into high school.

The part-time Youth and Community Worker also provides one to one support to students in local primary schools who have been identified as needing additional emotional/ academic support in school. The Youth and Community Worker will also assist with the Switch Leadership Program that supports young people aged 12 – 18 years through activities, youth led events, camps, leadership and skills development opportunities. 

Youth and Community Workers are responsible for supervising, guiding and supporting children and young people in all aspects of their wellbeing, learning and development including understanding boundaries, respectful behaviour, emotional literacy, help-seeking behaviour and kindness, as well as supporting them to strengthen their sense of identity, belonging and community responsibility.
