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 Support Officer will work within Tangentyere’s Youth
and Community Safety at programs such as the 3 Brown Street Youth Service, the
Child & Youth Outreach Service, and Night & Youth Patrols as well as opportunities for placements in
other social and community programs within Tangentyere as identified by
individual interests.
The YEP Support
Officer role is designed for individuals with prior experience or training in
youth or community services who possess good communication skills and have a
willingness to further develop their workplace skills. Focused on professional
growth, the position provides intensive coaching and mentoring to further
refine workplace capabilities. The YEP Support Officers actively assist in the
planning and delivery of programs while participating in development
opportunities tailored to their specific career goals.
As part of your role, you will be

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 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.
