Employment
Current Vacancies
Although there are no paid positions at this time, why not become a volunteer? Many of our volunteers enhance their workplace skills that can lead to paid employment in the job market.
Emerald Community House relys on the valuable contributions of our volunteers. We have a volunteer Committee of Management, who welcome new members to be involved in House governance and be involved in the many community strengthening activities that ECH has become famous for. There are also many other opportunities that exist within the daily operations of the House.
We can offer our volunteers a stimulating environment, working in reception, database management, IT support, event management, course development, childcare programs, general maintenance projects, fundraising and grant writing, to name a few.
Volunteering connects people to the local community network and increases skills and confidence. Many people who volunteer at Emerald Community House have acquired new skills that have led them on to paid work. This has been valuable for people who are earning Centrelink payments, returning to work or looking for a carrer change.
Our friendly, energetic staff offer an exciting and dynamic work experience and are always ready to assist volunteers on the job. Cardinia Shire Council also supports our volunteers with training costs for first aid, book keeping, food safety and computer applications. Other benefits from the House include $100 ECH services voucher for regular volunteering of 120 hours minimum per year (the equivalent of 3 hours per week) and inclusion in the Volunteer of the Year awards.
If you are interested ring us on 03 5968 3881, or call into the House during open hours.
