About CareSouth
CareSouth is a community services organisation, 30 years young, that supports vulnerable children, young people, families, and people with disabilities to gain independence and build a better future.
Based across regional NSW in the Illawarra, Shoalhaven, Eurobodalla, Sapphire Coast, Southern Tablelands, Central Tablelands, Riverina and Murrumbidgee regions, we offer services and programs in youth support and early intervention, foster care, therapeutic care homes, youth homelessness and NDIS disability services.
We are a bunch of passionate people dedicated to making a difference and achieving the best outcomes for those we support, no matter their circumstances.
About the role
CareSouth is governed by a group of Board Directors who share a mutual passion for making a difference in the lives of others. With backgrounds in community services, teaching, finance and health, they bring a wealth of experience and perspective to shape the future of our organisation.

The two roles available are for an initial 1-year term, with the possibility of extension.
