Transform lives, every single day Do you want a career that means more? At Anglicare Sydney, we bring the strength, the support and the strategy to make it happen. We're a well-respected not-for-profit that's been serving people in need for over 170 years. Each year, we achieve life-changing outcomes for thousands of people who rely on our person-centred support.
As our Group Facilitator (Financial Capability), you'll empower individuals and families experiencing financial hardship to build the knowledge, skills and confidence to make informed financial decisions. This unique role combines 60% group facilitation and 40% individual Financial Capability casework, allowing you to make a difference through both engaging community workshops and personalised financial coaching. You'll help people understand their finances, develop practical money management strategies and build greater financial wellbeing and resilience. Be welcomed into a compassionate, respectful and purpose-driven community where we don't just talk about values – we live them.
Your prospect
Working within our Financial Wellbeing & Community team, you'll deliver engaging and accessible Financial Capability workshops across community settings, including Anglicare offices, community hubs, pantries, churches and partner organisations. You'll create welcoming, culturally responsive learning environments where participants feel comfortable discussing money, sharing experiences and developing practical financial skills. Alongside your group facilitation responsibilities, you'll provide short-term, individual Financial Capability casework to people experiencing financial stress or vulnerability. Using a strengths-based, trauma-informed and person-centred approach,
you'll support clients to understand their financial circumstances, set achievable goals and develop practical strategies that strengthen their financial independence. You'll also work collaboratively with Financial Counsellors, community pantries, community services and local partners to ensure participants and clients can access additional support when needed.
What you’ll bring
You're a confident and engaging facilitator who enjoys helping people learn practical skills they can apply in everyday life. You understand that conversations about money can be sensitive and that financial hardship often involves complex personal and social circumstances. You can connect effectively with people from diverse backgrounds, including culturally and linguistically diverse communities and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. You’re equally comfortable facilitating group discussions and working one-on-one with clients to develop realistic financial goals and practical strategies. Your communication, cultural awareness and ability to adapt your approach will help you build trust and achieve meaningful outcomes across both aspects of the role.
What's required
A degree in Social Work, Community Services or a related discipline, or a diploma/other relevant qualification with substantial experience. At least two years' experience working with diverse or disadvantaged communities, including people experiencing financial hardship.
Demonstrated experience facilitating, adapting and evaluating group education programs or workshops.

- Experience delivering financial literacy, budgeting or financial wellbeing education.
- Experience providing trauma-informed, strengths-based support to individuals and families experiencing financial hardship.
