Windsor, Queensland, Australia Karuna Hospice Services Full time $60,000 - $80,000 per year

Karuna Hospice Service Ltd ("Karuna") is a community-focused organisation guided by Buddhist principles. Karuna is dedicated to alleviating suffering by fostering choice, agency, and quality of life for all. Through specialised end-of-life care and other holistic supports, we provide compassionate, dignity-centred guidance to individuals, carers, and the broader community. As part of our team, you will help uphold these values with intent and compassion, to empower people to embrace both living and dying, and support them to find peace within.

Are you a connector, advocate, and steady presence for those who care for others? Walk alongside carers during their most vulnerable moments.

Join Karuna as a qualified, person-centred Counsellor to provide in-person therapeutic support to carers - both those actively caring and those recently bereaved. Your role is to offer a calm, supportive space where individuals feel heard, understood, and empowered to navigate the emotional impact of their experiences.

Previous experience supporting individuals through grief and loss will be viewed favourably.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Deliver in-person, trauma-informed counselling using evidence-based approaches (e.g., CBT, Rogerian)

  • Support a small caseload of carers including adults, adolescents, and children

  • Monitor progress using tools like DASS-21 and client feedback

  • Advocate for carer wellbeing and help strengthen referral networks

  • Uphold ethical and clinical standards while maintaining detailed, confidential records

  • Engage in reflective practice, supervision, and ongoing development

What You'll bring:

Essential

  • Accreditation with ACA, PACFA, or AASW

  • Minimum 3 years' counselling experience in Australia

  • Experience counselling carers and/or families

  • Strong communication, risk management, and clinical documentation skills

  • Driver's Licence, Police Check, Blue & Yellow Cards, NDIS Orientation, and Professional Indemnity Insurance

Desirable

  • Experience with CALD, LGBTIQ , or Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities

  • Group facilitation, public speaking, and program development skills

  • Confidence with IT systems and digital platforms

Why Karuna?

Karuna is a place where people matter. Every conversation, every service, every step we take is grounded in humility, kindness, courage, and respect. Join a team that values human connection and works with purpose to support carers through every stage of their journey.

Successful applicants will have the opportunity to access:

  • not-for-profit salary packaging benefits to increase take home pay

  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for you and family members

A police check will be required for this role - we'll coordinate it and cover the cost.

At Karuna, we're proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We're committed to building a diverse and inclusive team where everyone feels respected, valued, and supported. We welcome people of all backgrounds and ensure fair treatment throughout every stage of employment.
