We would love to hear from people who are able to utilise the skills and knowledge they have gained in a training setting. Please see the position description for more details.

All employees at WIRE are required to undergo a Police Check and a Working with Children Check to confirm they are fit to work with WIRE service users and program participants. Convictions relating to assault, harassment or violence may indicate an applicant is not suitable to work at WIRE.

We invite people who have relevant experience to apply for this role and to have a confidential discussion about the circumstances of any conviction which might be considered a barrier to your employment at WIRE.
