That could mean helping someone get to an appointment, checking in when they're having a difficult week, assisting with accommodation or workplace concerns, connecting workers with community services, or simply being someone they know they can rely on.

You might have experience in community services, health, education, disability or aged care, employment services or multicultural support - but we're not looking for one particular career background.

nWhy being local matters n
n
This is a casual position, with hours varying according to worker and operational needs.
n

Our workers can occasionally need unexpected or time-sensitive support, which means being genuinely based within the Lakes Entrance community and readily available to provide local, face-to-face assistance is important.
n

If you want flexible work that gets you out into your community and gives you the opportunity to make someone's experience of living and working in Australia a little easier, we'd love to hear from you.
