[INSERT THE ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE ROLE. IF SOME ARE PREFERRED, BUT NOT ESSENTIAL, TELL YOUR CANDIDATES:]

As this is a casual role, we can’t always guarantee the number of shifts you might get, so you’ll need to be comfortable being called in as needed.

In terms of the role itself, it’s not as much about the technical expertise nor the number of degrees you have, it’s about who you are as a person and what you bring:

• You’ll need to know how to set and maintain good boundaries - with clients, colleagues, and yourself. What we do isn’t always easy, so taking care of yourself is most important!
• You’ll be comfortable working to a structure but have the capacity to be flexible and navigate the unexpected.
• You’ll be able to think on your feet, problem solve and handle pressure.
• You’ll have a genuine desire to support people in making a positive difference to their lives.
• You’ll be reliable, resilient, persistent and non-judgmental.

And importantly, you’ll live and breathe our values, which means:

• You are humble, human and full of hope.
• You show up and share.
• You ask: Why not? And what’s next?
• You leave a positive wake.

Why? We believe that, through these values, we do our best work - for each other, for clients, and for the communities we work in. And it’s a promise we make to you about the kind of experience you will have working for us.
