The Salvation Army is one of Australia’s largest and most-loved charities, helping thousands of Australians every year find hope in the midst of all kinds of personal hardship.

At the Salvation Army Employment Plus (EPlus), we've worked with over 200,000 businesses across Australia and seen well over half a million Australians successfully placed in employment. We don't ever see a job, as just a job. We see a job as an opportunity for a better, more secure, more stable and empowered life.

About the opportunity

Plain and simple, each day you get to start and finish your day by making a difference!

Based at our Launceston site, your role will be working with participants in the Disability Employment Services program to assist them to overcome barriers to employment and successfully transition into the workforce.

In a day, your role will include conducting appointments, creating goals and referring to both internal and external services for support and training, marketing and referring to employment opportunities, providing post placement support and much more! The best part about assisting a participant is you get to support the participant along their journey and share in the positivity that employment brings.
