cjbchris Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 If it's the 411716 Youth Worker you're looking at, you need as closely as possible to show your duties/responsibilities meeting/matching the following: Tasks assessing clients' needs and planning, developing and implementing educational, training and support programs interviewing clients and assessing the nature and extent of difficulties monitoring and reporting on the progress of clients referring clients to agencies that can provide additional help assessing community need and resources for health, welfare, housing, employment, training and other facilities and services liaising with community groups, welfare agencies, government bodies and private businesses about community issues and promoting awareness of community resources and services supporting families and providing education and care for children and disabled persons in adult service units, group housing and government institutions supervising offenders on probation and parole assisting young people to solve social, emotional and financial problems preparing submissions for funding and resources, and reports to government bodies and other agencies When I did my assessment with Vetassess, I just gave one liners that closely resembled the duties given - in line with my function... You would however need your employer to confirm or include in their letter to Vetassess that you did indeed do what you said you did in your application.

devon67 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 hi, i was a youth worker in the uk for 15 years and moved over here after applying for about 20 jobs before we arrived it wasn't worth it, no one will look at you unless you are here i have an MA in youth and community work aswell as loads of others and it isnt worth it i'd say get here and apply for jobs, unless you need the points for migration purposes i now work for a company called vista as a team leader earning 55k pa they were ok with looking at my quals but mainly exp here in oz the traditional youth worker doesn't exist its more case worker, social work related, drug and alcohol as australia does not have a state or country wide youth service hope this gives you a picture of what its like to get a job etc cheers and good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
