**What Will We Do For You**:
Our culture underpins our values and guides our decision making. It's also what makes Resolution Life a great place to work.

Resolution Life Australasia supports virtual working, and our enduring primary place of work continues to be "virtual" with the physical office and home office used interchangeably. We recognise that our workers can contribute and connect equally regardless of where they are located, and we have seen and experienced the wellbeing and benefits that come from working at home. This means some of us work at home most of the time, in the office most of the time or a balanced mix.

Every day is an opportunity to grow - and we hope to offer our people a career, not just a job.

The learning and development opportunities we offer include supporting the completion of executive-level short courses, access to leading online learning tools, on the job training, and mentoring by highly experienced business leaders.

Before commencing employment in this role you will need to provide two references, full working rights and complete police and credit checks through an online provider.
