About St Vincent de Paul Society

For more than 170 years we have been providing practical and compassionate support to people across Victoria whose daily struggles can include putting food on the table, paying essential utilities and ensuring their children remain at school to obtain an education.

Under our Good Works umbrella we have many services and programs, including Vinnies Shops,  soup vans, education programs, home visitation programs and VincentCare Victoria (VCV), which assists some of Victoria’s most vulnerable communities, such as people experiencing homelessness, the housing crisis and family violence, and the elderly.

Why work for us?  We offer:

•  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.
• We like to have a laugh and you will always find some sort of chocolate or cake in our work area… be prepared!
• We make an incredible difference in the lives of over 300,000 people every year.
• We offer a place where you know you are contributing to an organisation committed to helping others. We are passionate about #Social Justice.
• We have some great talent who are happy to share their experience and skills to help you on your way.
• We are complex in our design which always makes work interesting.
