Overview

Make a Real Difference, Every Single Day

At MacKillop Family Services, we believe every young person deserves a chance to heal, grow, and thrive—no matter what their past is. Our Out of Home Care (OOHC) programs are safe havens built on compassion, resilience, and hope. As a Residential Care Worker, you'll be at the heart of this mission.

Most importantly, you'll provide genuine care and emotional support to children and young people to rebuild their lives and believe in brighter futures. You'll be part of a passionate, close-knit team that shows up with empathy, courage, and commitment.
