The Right Career Can Change Lives
Browse open roles

There’s nothing better than matching someone to the perfect role. We’d know, it’s our job. And it could be your job too. Join us today to help make a real difference in the lives of the disadvantaged, the long-term unemployed, and people with disability.

Looking for just a job? Or something more…

For some people, a job is just a job. For others, it’s a passion. Regardless, you’re going to spend most of your life working and so we believe it’s important to remember two things.

First, you should love what you do. Second, you should be proud of the difference you’re making in the world.

That’s what sets apart those who work at WISE. They’re driven, diverse, passionate people, who are excited to come to work every day. Whether you’re looking for a not-for-profit career, looking to work with people with disabilities, or simply looking to make a difference, then we would love to have you on our team.

We’re looking for new team members across different areas of our business with roles available in our employment services and social enterprises teams. We also have occasional openings in our allied services, head office and specialised programs departments.

“We’re in the game of helping people. We’re all contributing to the health and wellbeing of people through finding ongoing sustainable employment. So for me, that’s really rewarding.”

Matthew Lambelle | WISE Employment CEO

The WISE Attributes

At WISE, we look for and encourage six main attributes among our team:
These are Customer Centricity, Adaptability, Curiosity, Creativity, Resilience, and a Growth Mindset.
These attributes are important regardless of where you work, but at WISE, we find them vital to success.

CUSTOMER CENTRICITY

At WISE our clients really are at the centre of everything we do. We work hard to build a real relationship with each client and make sure we know how we can help them succeed.

ADAPTABILITY

Our industry is always changing and we’re constantly improving how we work. That’s why we’re on the hunt for flexible and smart individuals who are ready to thrive no matter the situation.

CURIOSITY

Curiosity is so important to those working at WISE. We’re always asking questions, looking to understand our clients better, and improve our work. So the question is are you curious too?

CREATIVITY

In our line of work no two days are ever the same and creative solutions are always needed. That’s why we’re looking for people who love problems and work hard to figure out the very best approach.

RESILIENCE

We won’t sugar coat it, our industry can be tough. Those who thrive with us are comfortable with the uncomfortable and able to deal with whatever the job throws at them.

A GROWTH MINDSET

We believe in progress over perfection and love the idea of learning on the job. That’s why we work with all our employees to help them to continue to grow, learn and progress their career.
