Youth Worker in Melbourne VIC

on 14 November 2023

Nope. Don't do it.

Working with some of the most complex young people in out of home care - I would say this is a pro, due to it been an invaluable learning experience . But it is TOUGH. I think the biggest issue with this company is their ridiculous shift structure and inflexibility. EVERYONE has to do one day shift (14 hrs), one night shift (10hrs) and one sleep over shift (24 hrs!) a week. Ruins your body clock ...

Residential Youth Worker in Gosford Central Coast NSW

Good Company

Communication was an issue as there appeared to be a big gap between management and employees. With the most challenging kids, there was little mentorship. You meet some great people though and it's a worthwhile experience.

Good idea, poor execution.

Safe Places was a great place to start in resi and they were obviously very invested in young people in the beginning. When I started a lot of focus was on training, support and providing individualised therapeutic care but over the years that changed. I watched decision making change from being young person focused to money focused. Sad to see unfortunately since the training and framework is gre...

Youth Worker in Melbourne VIC

on 5 August 2023

Under qualified and highly unprofessional management, no work life balance, shocking (probably illegal) shift work rostering.

Awful, highly under qualified management. No work/life balance. Salary does not account for the unpaid hours we do (like not getting paid extra for sleep over shifts). Staff are all burnt out and constantly whinging. Horrific turnover rate. Most new staff leave within 3 months of staying here. Having worked at multiple other resi agencies, I would suggest anywhere but safe places.
