Work with us - it’s worth it!

  • We offer a stable, above-award wage and permanent employment with flexible rosters to suit your work and life balance.

  • You’ll receive a guaranteed weekly income in a sector where work shifts may be unpredictable.  This means you can access the same opportunities that any other Australians on a fixed wage can, such as getting a mortgage and having peace of mind that you can pay your rent or plan for expenses.

  • Access six weeks annual leave for fulltime employees, or on a pro-rata basis for part-time employees.

  • Receive an annual bonus on your employment anniversary of $1000 for each year of service, capped at $5000 for five years’ service. Part-time employees receive a bonus based on average weekly hours and length of service.

  • Access generous salary packaging options through Remserv to increase your take-home pay. You may be able to pay your credit card payment, rent or utility bills from your pre-tax salary, meaning you take home more in the hand each week.

  • You’ll receive comprehensive in-house accredited training and support to gain mandatory formal qualifications. At Safe Places, you’ll be supported all the way to help you finish your Certificate IV in Child Youth and Family Intervention (Residential Care). We cover the costs of training, subject to you undertaking this qualification through our preferred internal registered training organisation (RTO).

  • You’ll be part of a friendly and supportive workplace, with access to 24- hour on-call support and guidance from senior youth workers during your shifts.

  • External confidential and professional counselling when you need to talk things over.

Safe Places for Children is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to providing our employees with a work environment free of discrimination and harassment.
