Your weekends, are yours

This is a full-time role, working across a roster from Monday to Friday, with hours between 7am and 6pm. We can work with you to plan hours that suit your needs. 

What we’re looking for

Contact centre experience is not required.  In fact, we find that experience in other types of work like retail, sales, hospitality, and corporate roles develops skills and life experience that is highly suited to this role. To be successful, you should have a passion for delivering outstanding customer service, be able to work at pace with competing priorities and have a high level of resourcefulness and attention to detail.

You will also need to complete a national police clearance on request. 

Apply now and take your first step into a call central role with a difference, that opens a world of opportunity to you while delivering a vital service to people in need of support.

We're committed to Equality, Diversity and Inclusivity
We welcome all people to join our team, including people from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, living with disability, all gender identities, LGBTQIA+, people of any socioeconomic status, of any age, race, national origin or ethnicity. We believe each person’s uniqueness makes us even better at the work we do.
