Diversity and inclusivity are important to The Bridge Youth Service and we are committed to ensuring our workplace and services reflect this. Everyone is welcome at The Bridge Youth Service, regardless of age, ethnicity, cultural background, gender, sexual orientation, religious affiliation and physical ability.

The Bridge Youth Service is committed to protecting children and to creating a child safe environment by identifying and reporting signs of abuse.

We currently have positions available for Specialist Youth Workers in our Education Settings program. One role is based in our Shepparton Office working full-time on a fixed-term contract until 31/12/2026. The second role is a part-time, 12-month fixed-term contract based in our Wallan Office.

These positions involve coaching and mentoring young people with the aim of increasing their wellbeing, resilience, self-efficacy and social skills.
