Employment Projects

Job Placement Employment Training (JPET)

JPET works with young people aged between 15 and 21 and aims to provide assistance with accommodation, juvenile justice issues, employment, education and training to young people experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness. JPET can help young people to get back on track and deal with the issues that impact on their ability to participate in work or training. A worker is linked to each young person and provides support and advocacy about Centrelink, opportunities, choices and accommodation.

Samaritans JPET services are located at the Information and Neighbourhood Centre in Vincent Street Cessnock, phone 02 4993 3420 and Samaritans Youth Service office in Taree, phone 02 6551 6996.
