ABOUT US
The Salvation Army is a Christian movement and one of Australia's largest and most-loved charities. We believe in doing good that transforms lives and futures for the better. It is this belief which drives us to find new ways and places where we can make a difference. From times of personal crisis to moments of national grief, we are always here — providing support, safety, community, and opportunity.
Why this role matters
When most people are asleep, some of the most important support work is just beginning.
For people experiencing homelessness, the overnight hours can be isolating, uncertain and challenging. Having a safe place to stay and someone they can rely on can make all the difference. As a Casual Night Shift Support Worker with The Salvation Army, you will help provide safety, stability and hope when it is needed most.
Working within our Hospital Discharge Program in Adelaide, you will support people who are rebuilding their lives and working towards a more positive future. Through genuine connection, practical assistance and compassionate support, you will play an important role in helping residents feel safe, valued and empowered to move forward.
About the role
We are seeking compassionate, reliable and resilient support workers who are available to work active overnight shifts within our 24/7 supported accommodation service. This role is primarily focused on night shift coverage, with active shifts worked between 11:00pm and 7:00am. There will also be opportunities to pick up morning shifts (7:00am to 3:00pm) and afternoon shifts (3:00pm to 11:00pm) during leave coverage.
Working overnight, you will be a reassuring presence for residents, responding to client needs, conducting wellbeing checks, providing practical support and helping maintain a safe and welcoming environment. Every shift presents an opportunity to make a meaningful impact in someone's life while working alongside a passionate and supportive team.
This casual position within the Hospital Discharge Program, reports directly to the Program Manager. Pay is in accordance with a SCHADS Level 3.
