• Casual

A healthy workplace culture is hard to find, but here at South Eastern Community Connect we think we’ve pretty well nailed it.

Unlike many non-profits, we know the importance of effective communication.

We don’t leave our staff in the dark. We let them know what’s happening, and why — and we involve you in key decisions.

Secondly, we are diverse. Our staff come from a wide variety of backgrounds, and this enhances our ability to support the community.

Thirdly, we believe in teamwork. No one is an island. We all need each other. And at work, we’re a family which supports and learns together. 

We’d love you to join our family.
