The Benevolent Society’s vision is to build a just society where all Australians can live their best life. For more than 200 years we have supported people at the margins of society: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians; children, young people, and their families; older people; carers and people with disability. We are an independent, non-religious service provider which supports people to live life their way.
As part of The Benevolent Society's vision, we are strongly committed to reconciliation with our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of Australia. We remain steadfast in our commitment to promoting the economic, political, and social inclusion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Caring for a loved one is important work. Some days caring brings great joy, but some days it can be lonely or a little overwhelming. No matter how you feel today, our Carer’s Gateway will be just a phone call away! Carer’s Gateway is an initiative to provide carers with information, peer support, emergency respite, counselling or coaching.
As our Client Support Partner - Peer Support you will be the catalyst for positive change in caregivers' lives! You will be at the forefront, assessing their needs and aspirations, crafting personalised plans to help them seize life's opportunities and achieve their goals. But that's not all – you will also foster a vibrant community where caregivers connect, support each other, and thrive together. If you're ready to empower caregivers to live their best lives and make meaningful connections, this is the role for you!
We support people to live their best life. That includes you, our employee. A ‘best life’ is unique to everyone and can change as life changes:
