About Us For over 120 years, Hope Community Services has supported Western Australians affected by justice involvement, mental health challenges, alcohol and drug use, and youth disengagement. We meet people where they are - with empathy, respect, and belief in their potential. About the Role As a Residential (Youth) Support Worker, you’ll help create a safe and stable environment for young people navigating the justice system.
