• Do you have a passion for supporting individuals to identify and achieve employment, training and education goals?
• Are you interested in working with vulnerable community members?
• Do you have a social worker or case management background?

Wingate Avenue Community Centre is looking for a Reconnect Worker to support community members to achieve pathways to education, training and employment (ETE), under the Skills First Reconnect program. You’ll join the team to deliver a values-based approach to working collaboratively with community members, with a priority for people experiencing disadvantage and vulnerabilities. Wingate Ave CC is a highly collaborative organisation, so you will also work with other organisations to support community members to achieve their ETE goals.

Wingate Ave CC provides multiple, place-based services at the centre, including occasional childcare, accredited and non-accredited courses, employment support services, community programs and activities, as well as other co-located services. The Reconnect program is contracted to be delivered to late 2025, unless it is extended by the State Government.

If you enjoy working one-on-one with community members, like working in a community setting, and like to collaborate with other organisations then we’d love to hear from you.
