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.
It takes a special kind of person to work in this sector. Someone with real compassion and care. Could that person be you?
Join us as a StandBy Support Worker, and be part of something bigger.
Join our StandBy team and play a vital role supporting individuals, families and communities impacted by suicide. This is deeply meaningful work, where you'll meet people at some of the most difficult moments in their lives and provide compassionate, steady support as they navigate grief and loss.
In this role, you'll deliver person centered, trauma informed support through a mix of outreach, individual sessions and occasional group or community-based work. You will work across metropolitan and regional South Australia, traveling to communities when it matters most to ensure support is accessible and timely.
This is a full-time, fixed-term position until 30th June 2027, based at Hindmarsh with regular regional travel, including occasional overnight stays.
You’ll be trusted to make a valuable impact by:
● Providing outreach, trauma informed support to individuals or families impacted by suicide.
● Delivering a mix of individual, group and community support sessions aligned to the StandBy model.
● Building connections with local services and linking clients to ongoing supports.
● Maintaining accurate records and participating in regular debriefing and clinical supervision
To thrive in this role, you will have:
● Tertiary qualifications (or equivalent experience) in social science, health or a related discipline.
● Demonstrated experience supporting individuals impacted by grief, trauma or suicide.
● Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to engage compassionately in highly sensitive situations.
● A current driver's licence and willingness to travel across metropolitan and regional South Australia.
We would also love you to have:
● Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST).
Your contribution here matters. We want you to see your impact every day, and we want you to feel valued for it.
Here’s what you can expect in your career at AnglicareSA:
