Wesley Mission is a high profile, multi-faceted Christian organisation making a real difference in the community. We work with the most disadvantaged in our community by providing over 200 services ranging from aged care, homeless services, child and family care, counselling, employment, training and education, and health services.
Our Vision is “Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can.”
This new position has been created to build on Wesley Mission’s network of services which work in multiple communities to achieve Wesley Mission’s vision of ‘No Wrong Door’. This role will bring together Wesley Mission’s different services to support people and communities in need.
Firstly, it is to oversee and ensure the distribution of Emergency Relief funding to the various communities through our various distribution points. The role will work across Wesley Mission’s network of services and locations to establish and maintain various distribution points to enable efficient community access. Secondly, it is to ensure that Wesley Mission’s vision of ‘No Wrong Door’ philosophy is seamlessly and consistently applied across Wesley Mission Emergency Relief distribution network and is in line with how Wesley Mission’s Hubs deliver the ‘No Wrong Door’ services. The role is responsible for developing and leading a culture across the organisation that aligns with Wesley Mission’s vision to “Do all the good that you can”.
Finally, this role will be the key manager to drive Wesley Mission community support to assist communities impacted by emergencies and/or disasters (e.g. bushfire / flood). While the provision of emergency food and cash relief will mostly be one of the means to support communities impacted by disaster, it will not be the only way that Wesley Mission can support a community.
This is a role for people passionate about making a difference to local communities and working to support the vulnerable in those communities. The successful applicant will lead an incredibly talented team dedicated to making a difference. If you are hard-working and passionate, skilful at leading, can build networks and supporting systems and become a Wesley Mission ‘Culture-Carrier’ for our ‘No Wrong Door’ philosophy, we would welcome your application.
Wesley Mission provides regular supervision and support for all staff as well as range of opportunities for professional development and staff benefits. This is a child-related position and preferred applicants will be required to undergo a Working with Children Check and criminal record history check.
Salary and employment conditions are in accordance with the Social, Community, Home Care and Disability Services Industry Award 2010, Level 7, with capacity for salary packaging and the provision of a fully maintained motor vehicle available for private use. Superannuation is paid in addition at 9.5%.
