The Emergency Relief Caseworker is responsible for providing emergency assistance to First Nations people living in the Adelaide Central and Hills and Adelaide West local government regions.

- Willingness to complete financial literacy skillset
In Your First Six Months You’ll

- Work collaboratively within a holistic, trauma-informed and culturally respectful framework – and help shape how we do things together
- Be part of a passionate, supportive team that values laughter, openness, and shared learning in a workplace where every voice matters
Note: Community work requires good psychological and physical fitness. Due to the demands of the environment, this type of work is not recommended for people who have or are experiencing significant and unresolved trauma/mental ill health, major life upheavals or certain physical/chronic illnesses.
