Looking for meaningful casual work this summer?
We're looking for 2–3 casual Regional Liaison Officers to join MADEC in Devonport for our busy summer period, working approximately December through to March/April.
This is a genuinely unique role supporting workers who have travelled from Pacific Island nations to live and work in Australia through the Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) Scheme.
You'll be one of the people they can turn to while they're away from home - whether that means helping with transport or an appointment, answering a question, connecting them with local services, checking in on their wellbeing or stepping in when something unexpected happens.
It's practical, people-focused work with a real purpose.
What does the role look like?
As a Regional Liaison Officer, you'll build trusted relationships with PALM Scheme workers and provide practical, pastoral and wellbeing support throughout their placement.
You may find yourself: Welcoming workers and helping them settle into the local community Providing transport and assistance with medical or other appointments Checking in regularly and building genuine relationships with workers Helping with accommodation, community connections and everyday challenges Providing wellbeing support and advocacy when needed Liaising with MADEC, host employers and community services Helping identify and resolve concerns before they become bigger issues Supporting workplace safety requirements and toolbox meetings Providing occasional after-hours or time-sensitive support when required Could this work for you?
Perhaps you're looking for extra work over summer,



have some availability alongside another casual or part time role, or simply want to spend a few months doing something meaningful.
You don't necessarily need to come from one particular industry.
Experience in community services, disability or aged care, health, education, multicultural services, employment services or other people-focused roles could translate beautifully.
More importantly, we're looking for people who are approachable, dependable and genuinely enjoy helping others.
You'll bring: Strong communication and relationship-building skills Empathy and confidence working with people from different cultures Good knowledge of Devonport and the surrounding community The ability to work independently and use initiative Confidence responding calmly when unexpected situations arise Proficient computer skills, including Microsoft Office and email A current driver's licence and ability to travel locally A few important details These are casual, seasonal positions, expected to run from approximately December through to March/April.
Hours will vary according to worker and operational needs, so these roles are best suited to people comfortable with the flexibility that comes with casual employment.
Because some worker needs can be urgent or time-sensitive, being locally based and readily able to provide face-to-face support in the Devonport area is important.
If you're looking for summer work with a little more meaning than your average casual job, we'd love to hear from you.
Join MADEC and help PALM Scheme workers feel supported, connected and at home in their Tasmanian community.
