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 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 need each other to thrive. And at work, we’re a family that supports and learns together.

We’d love you to join us if we’re the right fit for you.

With that in mind, we’re currently looking for a Home Care Packages Case Manager to support our rapidly growing aged care service.
