We want our recruitment process to give you the chance to shine — to bring forward your skills, experience and values, and show us what makes you a great fit for the role and for Anglicare Victoria. It’s not about ticking boxes, but about creating space for you to share your story and potential.

At the same time, our process helps us choose well. We have a responsibility to the children, families and communities we support, and that means finding people who not only have the right capabilities, but who are ready to work with compassion, resilience and purpose. Every decision we make is about building the strongest team we can, so together we can make every moment matter.

Application 

Start by submitting your application online with a resume and cover letter. Some roles may also ask you to address key selection criteria. This is your chance to introduce yourself, highlight your experience, and share why the role matters to you. We review applications carefully and look for alignment not just with the skills required, but with our values and purpose.

Shortlist & Screen

During the advertising process, we review applications against the role requirements and shortlist candidates for the next stage. We may reach out for a short phone or video chat which is a quick way to get to know you better, clarify details, and give you a chance to ask early questions about the role and the process.

Interview

Shortlisted candidates are invited to an interview, usually with a panel of two or three people. We use behavioural questions, asking you to share examples from your past experience. This helps us understand how you think, how you work with others, and how you might approach the real challenges of the role. Our interviews are designed to be fair, respectful and inclusive, and we encourage you to bring your whole self to the conversation.

Pre Employment Screening

Before we make an offer, we’ll complete reference checks with people you’ve worked with previously. Depending on the role, we are also required to complete other checks, such as a police check, a Working with Children Check, confirmation of your right to work in Australia, as well as others. These steps are about making sure we meet our duty of care to the children, families and communities we support.

Offer & Onboarding

If you’re successful, we’ll contact you with a formal offer and all the details you need to make your decision. Once you accept, we’ll guide you through our onboarding process — helping you settle in, connect with your new team, and get the support you need to start strong. From day one, we want you to feel part of Anglicare Victoria, and confident about the difference you can make here.
