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.

Our organisation provides many services and programs, including soup vans, education programs, home visitation programs and VincentCare Victoria (VCV), which assist 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

The Planned Giving Coordinator is responsible for the growth, retention, and effective management of St Vincent de Paul Society Victoria’s Gifts in Wills (Bequests) program.

  • Outstanding interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to build trust and rapport with mature-age supporters and families

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 #SocialJustice.
  • Hybrid working model.
