About Us
Looking for a job that you can be really passionate about?
EthicalJobs.com.au is a job-search site for people who want to "work for a better world". We list community jobs, environmental jobs, not-for-profit jobs and ethical business jobs that contribute to a more equitable, more just or more sustainable world.
Why Ethical Jobs?
We've noticed that increasingly people see the work they do as part of who they are, not just something to make a living from. Increasingly, people want the work they do to contribute to more just or more sustainable world. Unfortunately, though many people would love a job where they feel they're contributing to a better world, they're often unable to find one.
That's why we started EthicalJobs.com.au - to bring
together people and organisations with a passion for sustainability and
justice, to provide resources to help people find their dream jobs, and to help organisations find the best staff they possibly can.
EthicalJobs.com.au is fast-growing community of people, organisations and businesses, all dedicated to making the world a better place.
What is an Ethical Job?
We see Ethical jobs as jobs that contribute to a more equitable, more just or more sustainable world. There are two broad types of jobs we advertise:
a) Any job in an organisation or company where the organisation or company as a whole is actively contributing to a more equitable, more just or more sustainable world.
b) A job within any organisation or company where the job itself is largely focused on creating a more equitable, more just or more sustainable world.
The only organisations completely excluded from advertising jobs on this site are those which either derive income from, or receive significant funding from the tobacco, military, gambling or uranium industries.
Please note that not all employers who use
EthicalJobs.com.au are necessarily ethical employers, so advertising an
ethical job on this site does not imply an endorsement of an employer
or an endorsement of any of that employer's practices.
How is EthicalJobs.com.au making a difference?
EthicalJobs.com.au is a social enterprise which helps people, organisations and businesses to work for a better world.
EthicalJobs.com.au has committed to supporting Australian community groups by making regular donations to not-for-profit groups we think are doing good work to make the world a more just or more sustainable place. You can tell us who you think should get our next donation on the EthicalJobs.com.au homepage.
EthicalJobs.com.au is also committed to being an ethical and
sustainable organisation - our office runs on Green Power and 100% recycled paper, we drink FairTrade tea and coffee, and we get to and from our office using only bikes, feet & public transport.
Who We Are
Michael Cebon - Founder & General Manager
EthicalJobs.com.au is Michael's latest attempt to change the world for the better. He is also the editor and publisher of the People & Planet: Social Justice & Environment Diary & Calendar, a fundraising venture for over 50 small Australian non-profit organisations.
Michael previously founded and worked for Global Trade Watch, a non-profit organisation which monitored the social and environmental impacts of global trade and advocated for fair trading systems, wrote and co-directed the 2007 documentary Squeezed: The Cost of Free Trade in the Asia Pacific, and has lectured in the community development program at a Melbourne TAFE college.
Iain Murray - Relationships Development Manager
After abandoning his youthful intentions never to work for money, Iain spent ten years working as a fundraiser, volunteer manager, trainer and activist educator with non-profit organisations including Greenpeace, Pt’chang Nonviolent Community Safety Group, The Change Agency, Environment Victoria and Australia for UNHCR. Immediately prior to joining EthicalJobs.com.au, Iain was Sales Manager for a workplace health program provider.
According to a career counsellor, Iain's work history shows "unconventional vocational preferences". In his spare time he enjoys gardening, baking, cycling and singing.
Peter Callender - Relationships Coordinator
Pete knew there was something up when he realised his heroes were no longer the Michael Jordans and Jimi Hendrixs of the world, but instead the social “change makers” such as Peter Singer and Muhammad Yunus.
Pete studied a mix of economics, marketing, music and Spanish at the University of Sydney, during which he was able to study, live and work in Mexico where his commitment to fighting social and environmental injustice was solidified. Peter has previously worked as a social worker, political researcher and guitar teacher.
Lexi Randall-L'Estrange - Projects & Events Coordinator
Lexi is a trained environmental engineer who has spent the last four years volunteering with Engineers Without Borders Australia, both in Australia and overseas, as well working for Teach For Australia and Habitat For Humanity Vietnam. Lexi's work in both the private and non-profit sector has given her the opportunity to see the power of collaboration and meaningful partnerships to better serve the environment and society. When she's not doing any of the above, Lexi is also a founding member of the Melbourne Development Circle, a knowledge sharing network for the community development space, which will launch officially in early 2012. Her passions are people, partnerships, project management, philosophy, process efficiency, psychedelic rock, progressive politics, poetry and alliteration.
Lexi also works as Project Coordinator for the People & Planet: Social Justice & Environment Diary & Calendar, a fundraising venture for about 50 small Australian non-profit organisations.
