Work That Matters

• Connect to people in your community 
• Create social change

A career in Catholic social services offers challenging work, flexible working hours, the opportunity to combine paid work with study, and lots of variety - no two days are ever the same.

Most people don't realise how many different careers are available in social services. You could become a social worker, youth worker, policy officer, Aboriginal liaison officer, case manager, counsellor, family support worker, child care worker, HR manager, ageing and disability worker, community development worker... the possibilities are endless.

Catholic Social Services Australia member organisations provide services to people in need in every diocese in Australia. Find out how you can make a difference in your community!
