Job Description
Regional Liaison Officer - Summer Casuals | Devonport MADEC Australia Devonport, TAS, AU
n
Looking for meaningful casual work this summer?
n
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.
n
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.
n
You will 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.
n
It's practical, people-focused work with a real purpose.
n
What does the role look like?
n
As a Regional Liaison Officer, you'll build trusted relationships with PALM Scheme workers and provide practical, pastoral and wellbeing support throughout their placement.
n
You may find yourself:
n
n
Welcoming workers and helping them settle into the local community
n
Providing transport and assistance with medical or other appointments
n
Checking in regularly and building genuine relationships with workers
n
Helping with accommodation, community connections and everyday challenges
n
Providing wellbeing support and advocacy when needed
n
Liaising with MADEC, host employers and community services
n
Helping identify and resolve concerns before they become bigger issues
n
Supporting workplace safety requirements and toolbox meetings
n
Providing occasional after-hours or time-sensitive support when required
n
n




Could this work for you?
n
Pleasingly 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.
n
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.
n
More importantly, we're looking for people who are approachable, dependable and genuinely enjoy helping others.
n
You'll bring:
n
n
Strong communication and relationship-building skills
n
Empathy and confidence working with people from different cultures
n
Good knowledge of Devonport and the surrounding community
n
The ability to work independently and use initiative
n
Confidence responding calmly when unexpected situations arise
n
Proficient computer skills, including Microsoft Office and email
n
A current driver's licence and ability to travel locally
n
n
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.
n
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.
n
If you're looking for summer work with a little more meaning than your average casual job, we'd love to hear from you.
n
Join MADEC and help PALM Scheme workers feel supported, connected and at home in their Tasmanian community.
