Do work that truly matters. You’ll feel it always.
The work you do here can change the trajectory of young lives for good. There will be times when you’ll be a voice for children who have none. We know that’s a big responsibility. But we also see it as a privilege - to walk alongside children and families, to keep them safe, and to help build the better futures they deserve.

My attitude is that this is the most important job in the world. If it’s the right time for the parents and it all comes together, we can create real opportunities for kids as CSOs. We can send the children all the way to the top.
Gain deep experience, incredible personal growth and skills for a lifelong career.
People here often say no two days are the same. This work can be fast-paced and complex, and there’s always more to learn. You’ll be tested personally and professionally, and you’ll grow more than you ever thought possible. So, whether you continue a purposeful career here or decide to change course, you’ll be equipped with an incredible skill set that will set you up for life.

I’ve had managers who’ve invested in me, who’ve believed in me. I’ve worked across different service centres, and acted as Team Leader in different places, within our region and also outside. When you put in the hard work, the rewards are there, not just from a career perspective but seeing the results with families and children.
Be part of a team that lifts you up and keeps you strong.
It takes guts and heart to care this much. And our people really do - for every child and every teammate. You’ll never make a decision alone here, and your teammates will share their knowledge, encouragement and kindness - especially when the chips are down. Our people will say you’ll never be far away from a smile, a laugh or “a coffee on me”.

It's not only my Team Leader but even the Manager is amazing; she's so invested in her staff. And we do make an effort to find out more about one another, to make it a friendly environment. The type of work we do means it's great to share stories and experiences.
Are you prepared to move for a position? We offer a range of additional financial incentives and benefits if you accept a position in an in-demand location. This includes extra leave allowances and payments. Applications received for these locations are highly regarded.
What does it take to thrive and have an impact here?
The work you’ll do here is vital and fulfilling. But it’s not always easy …
So, we think it’s important you understand that this isn’t a job for everyone. You don’t have to be a superhero or a saint to do this work, but you do need to have compassion, positivity, resilience and the ability to not sweat the small stuff!
As a team, we’re all super different and we come from many diverse backgrounds. But our people tend to share some common traits. Here’s your chance to ask yourself:
- Are you generally a positive person?
An optimistic, can-do attitude really helps here. - Are you able to adapt if things don’t go to plan?
Here, we expect the unexpected. That means being flexible, agile and resilient, whatever comes our way. - Are you independent but also ready to ask for help when you need it?
There are plenty of tough cookies in our team. But we all know that “it takes a village”. And together, we get through the tough times and enjoy the good ones.
If your answer is yes to the above 3 questions, and you believe in being a voice for children who have none, we would love to hear from you.
