About Vincentcare Victoria
VincentCare Victoria is an award-winning organisation established to provide a range of accommodation and support services to people that are facing disadvantage throughout metropolitan and regional Victoria.

Our aspiration is to be the leader in providing care, hope and advocacy for those facing disadvantage. Our purpose is to create opportunities and lasting change for the most marginalised. VincentCare is well equipped to provide a continuum of services that effectively meet the needs of people experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

About The Role
Reporting to the Hume Community Hub Manager, this pivotal leadership position oversees VincentCare's Financial Wellbeing Capability programs across Shepparton and Bairnsdale. You will lead a small, high-performing team, driving best-practice service delivery and ensuring positive, sustainable client outcomes.

In this role, you will manage two key program areas:

  • Financial Wellbeing Hub (Shepparton): Delivering integrated financial wellbeing services focused on early intervention and capability building. Supports are offered to individuals and families experiencing financial hardship or at risk of vulnerability, including direct access to Financial Counsellors and Capability Workers.
  • Financial Counselling and Capability (Bairnsdale): Providing culturally safe, inclusive, and accessible financial counselling and capability services that promote financial resilience and confidence for individuals and communities.

As an accredited Financial Counsellor, you'll bring specialist knowledge of credit, bankruptcy and debt collection laws, concession frameworks and hardship practices. You'll guide your team through day-to-day operations, supervision and service improvement, while building strong partnerships across the community sector.

Working within VincentCare's collegial and values-driven model, you'll champion collaboration, transparency and continuous improvement to achieve the organisation's strategic goals.

Key Selection Criteria

  • Proven experience managing or coordinating community-focused programs, including people, performance and change management.
  • Strong understanding of financial counselling frameworks and transparent financial management practices.
  • Demonstrated experience providing effective, person-centred client support and case planning.
  • Sound knowledge of the issues facing people in financial crisis or at risk of homelessness.
  • Commitment to inclusive and responsive service delivery for LGBTIQ+, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, Culturally and Linguistically Diverse communities and people with disabilities.
  • Strong stakeholder engagement and partnership-building experience.
  • Demonstrated commitment to social justice, human rights, and empowerment principles.

Why work for us? We offer

  • We offer a workplace with a firm commitment to helping others.
  • We are passionate about #SocialJustice.
