50,000 lives and counting.
That’s how many South Australians our people support each year.
As one of the state’s leading not-for-profits, we’re making a meaningful impact at scale. From foster care to aged care and everything in between, our services are as diverse as the people and communities we serve - and we’re growing our reach for the future.

Join us as an Assessment Worker, and be part of something bigger.
Help shape the future of children and young people by finding and supporting the right foster families.
As an Assessment Worker, you'll use your professional judgement to assess, educate and support prospective foster carers through the approval process.

This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced practitioner who enjoys building relationships, asking meaningful questions, writing high quality assessments and making recommendations that have a lasting impact on children's lives.
Working as part of our Foster Care team, you'll collaborate with internal specialists and engage with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) families to ensure culturally safe and inclusive practice.
This role has flexibility to work casually or part-time (dependant on successful candidates preference), position based at our Head Office in Hindmarsh, with travel across metropolitan Adelaide.
