Benefits
  • Salary Benefits - You can package up to $15,900 pa of your pre-tax salary to pay for everyday expenses before income tax is calculated, meaning you take home even more pay
  • Motor Vehicle Packaging Options – to suit your lifestyle.
  • Work/Life Balance - Enjoy flexible work arrangements, including hybrid home/office options, and accrue an additional day off each month (a bonus of 12 days per year) as a full-time employee.

  • Wellness - Stay fit with a Fitness passport, utilise our Employee Assistance Program, and even purchase additional leave.
  • Professional development - We tailor career development opportunities to all employees and volunteers for career enrichment, fulfilment, and growth.
  • Our Reconciliation Commitment – Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees are entitled up to 2 days paid plus up to 10 days unpaid cultural leave, as well as the option to be a voice on reference networking groups, the opportunity for cultural and professional development that supports career pathways and your social and emotional wellbeing.
Skills and Experience

Relevant industry experience is essential and/or tertiary qualification in Social Work, Welfare or Psychology or related discipline is highly desirable.

  • Be recognised within the community as a respected, culturally safe person.
  • Ability to actively and respectfully engage and assess Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander families.
  • Experience identifying and addressing child protection concerns.
  • High level written and verbal communication, it's important to document our work.
  • Current drivers license (pool cars are available so you don't need to use your own vehicle).

If you identify as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples, then we want to hear from you. The Benevolent Society recognises and values cultural knowledge and wisdom of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, we therefore strongly encourage you to apply. We are strongly committed to being an Employer of Choice, one who offers, provides, and practices cultural safety in our workplace.
