On the grounds ARCT is spiritually symbolised by an ARK or waka.

ARCT provides a safe, confidential central drop in space, and facilitates social related services in a holistic way across the community. Due to its small size and unique community contacts ARCT has the capacity to organically adapt and change to meet the evolving needs of the community. A supportive structure sailing safely over the currents of life. A place of protection, but also a place to connect with others, learn effective team work and new life skills to increase quality of life. Heartland Services

🌟 ARCT @ HEARTLANDS IS LOOKING FOR A LEGEND! 🌟

COMMUNITY SUPPORT & PROJECTS COORDINATOR

We’re looking for a versatile, energetic and community-minded person to join our team.

Someone who doesn’t wait to be told what to do — you see what needs doing and make it happen!

We’re looking for someone who is:
✨ Self-motivated, enthusiastic and full of ideas
✨ Versatile, organised and able to think on their feet
✨ Able to take a project from idea to reality
✨ Computer savvy and confident
✨ Compassionate, confidential and non-judgmental
✨ Genuinely interested in people, community and social services
✨ Comfortable working independently and as part of a small team
✨ Looking to become part of what we do for the long haul

Our work is varied, people-focused and sometimes unpredictable no two days are the same.

We’re less interested in the perfect CV and more interested in finding the right person with the right attitude.

We are inviting expressions of interest from people who think they could be the right fit for this varied and rewarding role.

Hours and the structure of the position are open for discussion with the right person.

Please send us a brief introduction telling us who you are, what you could bring to Heartlands, and why this role interests you, along with your CV if you have one.
