Tangentyere Council Aboriginal Corporation (TCAC) is a
community-controlled Public Benevolent Institution delivering human services
and social enterprise activities for the benefit of Aboriginal people from the
Alice Springs Town Camps, urban Alice Springs, and Central Australia.
The Tangentyere Council Youth, Family & Community Safety
(YFCS) Division delivers a range of services across Town Camps and Alice
Springs, supporting children, young people, families, and communities through daytime
and after-hours services focused on recreation, diversion, out of home care,
community safety, and family support programs.
The Youth Employment Pathways (YEP) program is for young
people aged 15–25 living in Alice Springs Town Camps. The program supports
young people entering paid casual work by providing on-the-job training and
mentoring to develop core workplace skills and by offering opportunities to
gain relevant training, hands on experience and qualifications in the community
and youth services. The program recognises the importance of culture, community,
and family, and supports young people in building workplace skills while
remaining connected to their community.
The YEP School Transport Officer will provide safe and
reliable school transportation for young people living in Town Camps to improve
school attendance and support family routines. This role is responsible for
delivering culturally appropriate and responsive transport services, working
closely with YFCS & the Community Centre Division to assist with morning
activities, such as breakfast programs, to help students prepare for the school
day and provide transportation to school.
To ensure strong community engagement and service
reliability, the Transport Officer must hold a valid NT Driver’s License and
possess a lived connection or deep family ties to the specific Town Camp they
service.
As part of your role, you will be working with children,
people with a disability and people who are vulnerable. It is your obligation
to always ensure their safety and report any concerns in line with our duty of
care obligations. We have zero tolerance when it comes to abuse of any kind and
will take disciplinary action, including and up to termination of employment,
should we determine that abuse has taken place or there has been a failure to
report any suspected or alleged abuse.
