As a member of Jesuit Social Services executive, you will model and uphold our organisational values of being welcoming, discerning and courageous. You will build relationships and connect people from across our organisation and the wider community, bringing to life our social change approach which involves both doing (our grounded work with people and communities) and influencing.
