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, Street Team Volunteers play an important role in improving safety in the community of a Saturday night, providing a safe place to party-goers for rest & recovery, provision of water to aid in hydration, first aid, mental health first aid, and referral to other supports and services where required.
Through their non-judgemental and friendly interactions, Street Team Volunteers raise awareness about the services available to community members through The Salvation Army or other local area supports. The Street Team help people feel safe, supported and connected.
Key responsibilities:
- Use your training and experience to connect in an appropriate way with people experiencing vulnerability.- In consultation with the community member, identify relevant support options and assist with referrals.- Record notes on interaction, assistance and referrals offered to the community member in TSA’s system/s.- Assist with setting up and packing up of any resources or equipment used during shift.
Qualifications and skills (desired/required):
- Experience in the community services or other health-related field is desirable, but not required.- First Aid & Mental Health First Aid Certificates are Desirable (Training can be provided to ongoing volunteers)- Excellent communication skills, a desire to help others, and a willingness to learn and work in a team are essential skills.
Background check requirements:
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.
