🧡We’re excited to share that Desert Blue Connect currently has three fantastic opportunities available, including two brand new roles and one that rarely comes up!

If you're passionate about community wellbeing, supporting others, and being part of a purpose-driven team, one of these roles might be perfect for you:

Clinical Lead Manager – Full Time
Seeking a leader to guide our counselling and FDV programs. The ideal candidate will have a career that demonstrates their values align with ours, enjoy working in a dynamic workspace and be capable of juggling multiple priorities. You will play a significant part in our leadership team, be strong at building relationships and have considerable experience in relevant sectors. You will have the direct lead of up to 12 practitioners and may have the opportunity for your own caseload.

Community Initiatives Officer – Full Time
The team engages, educates and supports different sectors of the Geraldton community, particularly with relation to Women’s Health and Family/Domestic Violence. This role will facilitate support groups for young mums, educate and assist young people transitioning to adulthood, and help promote Women’s Health at events and forums. Applicants need to be organised, pro-active, enjoy meeting people, developing relationships and be confident in presenting information.

Children’s Counsellor – Full Time
Provides counselling and case management to children, young people and families affected by child sexual abuse, and children/young people responsible for, or at risk of, sexually abusing other children.

🙏Thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday at the opening of our new Men’s Services facility. We are proud as punch of this new space, and it was wonderful to connect with so many of you who work in community services, both as partners and as service providers, helping our community live safer, healthier lives.

Yesterday was a powerful reminder of how well we work together and how important each of our roles is in serving the community. We appreciate you all, and it meant a lot to celebrate this moment alongside you.

Our work is not always front and centre, but moments like this, being able to offer the men of Geraldton a bigger, calmer safe space to work on themselves, heal, grow, and become better men, are worth celebrating.

We look forward to seeing and hearing from many of you as we continue this important work together.

Yes, we had to drag this lot out for a photo, but even they agree it was worth it to celebrate this milestone for our Men’s Service Team! 🎉 Signage is up, and we’re now fully operating out of 1 Bayly Street, Geraldton.

We are so excited to offer men in Geraldton this new safe space to work on themselves, heal, grow, and make positive changes, for themselves and for those around them. We will continue to be a judgement-free zone. Come in for a yarn and let us work with you. The kettle is always on, that hasn’t changed!

This new space enhances our ability to deliver these important services to our community, and we can’t wait to welcome you through the doors
