  • Confidence, a relaxed demeanour, and exceptional conversational skills.
  • Great listening skills with a detective-like eye for detail.
  • Advocacy skills on behalf of our clients.
  • High level of computer literacy and organisational skills.
  • Comfort with diversity, compassion, and exceptional listening skills.

MUST HAVE:

  • A Certificate IV in Mental Health or equivalent
  • Possess a valid driver's license and a reliable, fully insured vehicle. You will be driving to meet client's so a reliable car is a must.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT:

  • Access to CDERP college and a weekly bonus for ongoing education.
  • Paid professional development days and course allowances.
  • Fuel costs are covered by a weekly allowance.
  • Fortnightly well-being get-togethers with our Peer Mentor.

  • Consistent casual work with set caseloads
  • Work 2 days a week allowing for work life balance
  • End-of-year bonus and yearly wage reviews.

Join us at Work First, where it's about more than just a job; it's about empowering the whole person. Together, let's create inclusive employment opportunities and make a meaningful impact on the lives of those we serve.
