About St Vincent de Paul Society

For more than 170 years we have been providing practical and compassionate support to people across Victoria whose daily struggles can include putting food on the table, paying essential utilities and ensuring their children remain at school to obtain an education.

Under our Good Works umbrella we have many services and programs, including soup vans, education programs, home visitation programs and VincentCare Victoria (VCV), which assists some of Victoria’s most vulnerable communities, such as people experiencing homelessness, the housing crisis and family violence, and the elderly.

Little bit about the role

Are you ready to get moving and be part of a dynamic team? We’re looking for a Warehouse Assistant to support our warehouse operations with energy, efficiency, and dedication. If you enjoy hands-on work, thrive in fast-paced environments, and want to play a key role in keeping our warehouse running smoothly, we’d love to hear from you!

Your Responsibilities
  • Help us hit targets and keep everything flowing by loading, sorting, and distributing materials.
  • Operate forklifts, load pallets, and handle stock – you’ll be moving all day!
  • Support our supply chain by assisting the warehouse and transport teams.
  • Stay on top of safety standards, ensuring all manual handling is done safely and efficiently.

  • The ability to operate a forklift (licensing required).
  • Physical fitness to handle lifting, carrying, and standing – this is an active job!
  • Enthusiasm for continuous improvement, always looking for ways to make things run smoother.
Why work for us? We offer:
  • Salary packaging, sometimes called salary sacrificing is a huge attraction here! It is a popular way of providing employees in the community sector with tax benefits over and above their salary. It means the real value of a salary package can be significantly higher than the nominal value.
  • We make an incredible difference in the lives of over 300,000 people every year.
  • We believe in families, so we like to provide a family-friendly environment in which to work.
  • We offer a place where you know you are contributing to a firm committed to helping others. We are passionate about #Social Justice.
