Jen Barren is a Youth Health Officer – "I did my Bachelor of Teaching and then taught, and I did a Degree in Social Work. I worked as a volunteer overseas, and for ‘Youth With A Mission’ in India before taking this job with Dorset Council in Tasmania’s north east coast. My job is incredibly varied. Some weeks I’m not in the office at all. I help attract activities and resources into the area for youth, and I counsel young people. I think what I find most rewarding is that young people in this area know they can make their ideas work with our support". |
Training available in Tasmania
