ABOUT US

The Salvation Army is a Christian movement and one of Australia's largest and most-loved charities. We believe in doing good that transforms lives and futures for the better. It is this belief which drives us to find new ways and places where we can make a difference. From times of personal crisis to moments of national grief, we are always here — providing support, safety, community, and opportunity.

The Salvation Army ‘Doorways’ community support model engages people at their point of need in a holistic way that is missional, relational and professional. Doorways provides support to community members through financial and material emergency relief, along with casework to help them to find long-term solutions.

The Doorways Support Assistant works across all community-facing, as well as ‘behind the scenes’ aspects of the Doorways emergency relief services (excluding interviewing or casework). They are key in providing a warm welcome to community members so they feel safe and accepted, offering refreshments, as well as supporting the issuing of pre-allocated financial assistance cards, material aid and any additional connection as needed.

Key responsibilities

Build rapport

Taking a genuine interest in the community member and their wellbeing, a friendly smile and warm welcome will help community members relax and connect over a cup of tea or coffee.

Program Support

Doorways Support Assistants work across all site-based aspects of support which may include community connections, distribution of pre-allocated financial assistance and material assistance, referral to other services, programs, activities, and spiritual support.

Bringing a good sense of practicality and organisation, Doorways Support Assistants organise material aid items, restock and store food items, administer and distribute emergency relief.

Administration

With a keen eye for accuracy and consistency, the role may require confidential data administration.

Qualifications and skills (desired/required)
