Moneycare Financial Counsellor – Problem Gambling
Geraldton, WA Permanent part-time – 22.8 hours per week (0.6 FTE)
When people come to Moneycare, they’re often carrying more than overdue bills or financial stress. They’re carrying fear, shame, worry for their families and the weight of circumstances that feel overwhelming. Gambling harm can quietly unravel finances, relationships and wellbeing.
As a Financial Counsellor with The Salvation Army, you stand in that gap. You offer clarity where there is confusion, advocacy where there is powerlessness and hope where people feel stuck. Your work directly contributes to safer households, stronger financial capability and healthier futures for individuals, families and the wider community.
You will provide holistic, person-centred financial counselling and advocacy to people experiencing financial hardship, with a particular focus on those impacted by problem gambling. This includes assessing each person’s unique circumstances, exploring the interaction between life issues and financial stress, and supporting clients to make informed, sustainable decisions.
You will also have the opportunity to deliver group financial literacy and capability sessions, helping people build skills and confidence to manage their money over the long term.
This is a permanent part-time position of 22.8 hours per week (0.6 FTE) within the Moneycare Western Australia Financial Counselling for Gambling team, based in Geraldton and reporting to the State Manager. Pay is in accordance with a SCHADS Level 5.
