About the role 

Reporting to the Senior Financial Counsellor, you will play an important role in supporting individuals and communities to build confidence, skills and resilience in managing everyday financial challenges.

Working alongside our Financial Counselling and Family Violence team, you will develop and deliver workshops, information sessions and one-on-one support that helps people better understand budgeting, financial wellbeing, available supports and pathways to greater financial independence. 

You will also assist clients to access services, undertake intake and administrative activities, support community engagement initiatives, and contribute to the development of resources and programs that improve financial capability across the community. 

This role would suit someone with experience in community development, education, training, coaching, community services or client support who is passionate about empowering people through learning, practical support and community connection.

Your skills and capabilities will include: 

• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to connect with people from diverse backgrounds. 

• Experience delivering training, workshops, coaching, community engagement activities or individual support.

Professional development, mentoring and support to undertake relevant qualifications may be provided for the right candidate. 

Why join Vincentcare?

• Salary packaging, sometimes called salary sacrificing is a huge attraction here! It is a popular way of providing employees in the community sector with tax benefits over and above their salary. It means the real value of a salary package can be significantly higher than the nominal value.
• Career Development opportunities
• Employee Assistance Program
• We offer a place where you know you are contributing to a firm committed to helping others. We are passionate about #SocialJustice.
