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. Under the guidance of a team leader, volunteer Outreach Team Members play an important role, going out into the community to connect with community members experiencing short-term or long-term vulnerability. Through their non-judgemental and friendly interactions, Outreach Team Members raise awareness about the services available to community members through The Salvation Army or other local area supports. The Outreach Team help people feel safe, supported and connected.

Key responsibilities:

Qualifications and skills (desired/required):
- Experience in working with people experiencing vulnerabilities (eg homelessness, addiction) is desirable/required.

Background checks play an important part in our commitment to being a safe organisation. Where an applicant has disclosable history, the selection process includes a fair assessment and a risk management approach.
