Your opportunity

Working within our Financial Wellbeing & Community team, you'll plan, deliver and evaluate tailored financial capability workshops across a range of community settings, including community hubs, pantries, churches, partner agencies and other local venues.

Using a strengths-based and trauma-informed approach, you'll create safe and inclusive learning environments where participants can build their financial knowledge, develop practical skills and confidently apply what they learn to their own circumstances.

You'll also build relationships with local organisations and community networks, strengthen referral pathways and connect participants with Financial Wellbeing caseworkers and other specialist services when they need individual support.

With integrity and resilience, you will:

·       Support participants to apply what they learn to their own circumstances and provide practical tools and strategies they can continue using beyond the program.

·       Build relationships and referral pathways with churches, community organisations, local services and other stakeholders.

·       Identify participants who may benefit from additional support and warmly connect them with Financial Wellbeing caseworkers or other appropriate services.
