Opportunities

There are many opportunities available for volunteering at Caboolture Community Care as our volunteers consist of a mix of people who are clients that have previously needed assistance, those who need to meet “Mutual Obligation” requirements, students from a wide variety of education institutes, people undergoing “Work Recovery” plans and people working off SPER debts through Work Development Orders.

We support and work with all volunteers to build self-esteem, work ethics and our in-house training programme teaches volunteers to be non-judgemental and non-discriminative.

We work closely with the employment agencies and colleges/universities to make sure all aspects of training is relevant.

All positions that we have available are subject to eligibility including the ability to have a Blue Card for working with Children.
