2. Work to Achieve Identified Outcomes
In starting work as a youth worker... more than likely
you will have been given a duty statement or position
description. This will clarify the work that you are
required to do, and the boundaries of your job role
In addition you should be aware of the policies and
procedures of the organisation and understand any
legislation that applies to your role

3. Work to Achieve Identified Outcomes
If you work as a part of a team, your co-workers
should be able to give you a good idea of the work you
need to do, and of course your boss/supervisor would
know!
If your workplace isn’t entirely clear on your role, take
time to write down what you think it is and get your
manager to sign off on it...

4. Establish and Maintain Appropriate
Work Relationships
This means that you will work as a team player
Treat your co-workers as you would like to be treated
by them (be friendly, respectful and helpful)
If there is conflict in the work environment, try to
resolve the issue with the person concerned first
If you continue to have difficulty, speak to your
supervisor to see if they can help resolve the issue
If the problems continue it might be a good idea to
use an external mediator to see if they can help
resolve the conflict and the differences between
everyone involved

5. Facilitate Operation of the
Workgroup
Participate in processes to
ensure goals are met in the
workplace
Carry your own load and
communicate with others to
ensure they can do their job as
well too
Try to bring peace and fun into
your workplace... you can make
the critical difference to other
people’s lives

6. Review and Develop own
Performance
Take a look from time to time at your job role and
consider whether you are working well within it
Ask about reviews or mechanisms of evaluation of
your performance so that you can work towards
improving weaker areas and utilising your strong
points within the work environment
Roles can change... of course by negotiation if you
excel in an area and prefer not to do certain things...
you may benefit the organisation by having a change
in job description
More organisations are moving towards an ecological
model... which allows human beings to ‘breathe’
