CatholicCare provides a broad range of innovative social services in response to the needs of communities in western NSW.

We are seeking a caring person to join our Staying Home Leaving Violence team.

The position is based in our Cobar office and is full-time with a maximum term contract until 26 June 2026. If further funding is made available, an additional contract may be offered to the incumbent.
