Organisation Profile

MoneyMob Talkabout is a not-for-profit organisation providing a range of community services and programs in the APY Lands in northern South Australia, and in Alice Springs. We have remote offices in the communities of Ernabella (Pukatja) and Amata and Mimili, and provide outreach services to other Anangu communities. We are a values and evidence driven for-purpose organisation.

Our vision: Aboriginal people and communities are empowered to achieve economic wellbeing and self-determination. In this, Aboriginal people are equal partners in and co-creators of our practice.

At MoneyMob, you won't be bored. We're always learning, and we want you to as well. We work hard, but care about each other. Our culture is informal but smart; we value transparency, accountability, self-awareness and a thoughtful approach.

About the Opportunity

This position is essential to the daily operation of these services and ensuring that the office is a safe and comfortable space for people to come to. The role embodies the essence of our vision and values to empower Aboriginal people; both our clients and co-workers by sharing knowledge, developing skills and building independence for people to interact with institutions and agencies autonomously.
