Sales Coordinator

Who you'd be working for

Good Sammy is a for-purpose organisation creating employment opportunities for people with disability. We’ve been around since 1958 and we have a workforce of over 800 individuals, with almost 50% who identify as having disability.
Our efforts to make a difference extend beyond the workplace. Good Sammy is a driving force in sustainability, keeping nearly 7 million kilograms of used goods out of landfills annually. Our operations span various social enterprises, each contributing to our greater purpose.
•    Retail: Our op shops are the public face of Good Sammy. They serve as platforms for individuals with disabilities to explore the retail industry, supply chain operations, and logistics. By supporting these enterprises, we are nurturing skills, breaking stereotypes, and promoting community engagement.
•    Hospitality: We recently opened our first ‘Good Thanks’ café, creating more customer-facing roles for people with disability, which are critical in breaking down some of the stereotypes that exist in the community.
•    Business services: Our diverse business services encompass warehousing, logistics, packaging, assembly, and gardening. By providing these services to the Western Australian business community, we're not only delivering quality work but also offering secure employment in an environment that values safety and structure.
•    Containers for Change: With a commitment to environmental responsibility, we operate a large-scale Containers for Change social enterprise. This initiative not only supports our mission but also contributes to a more sustainable future.
Good Sammy’s training academy also provides structured learning and work experience opportunities through our contemporary programs, helping participants to build skills and confidence.
