Karuna is dedicated to alleviating suffering by fostering choice, agency, and quality of life for all. Through specialised end-of-life care and other holistic supports, we provide compassionate, dignity-centred guidance to individuals, carers, and the broader community.

Deliver non-clinical, carer-led Facilitated Carer Coaching Service (FCCS) sessions

Support carers to set and achieve SMART goals using structured coaching tools

Empower carers with clarity, self-reflection, and practical action planning

Promote the service and build relationships with stakeholders and community networks

Active listening and excellent communication skills

Strong boundaries and emotional resilience

A current Driver’s Licence, Police Check, Blue Card & NDIS Worker Screening

Why Karuna:

Karuna is a place where people matter. Every conversation, every service, every step we take is grounded in humility, kindness, courage, and respect. Join a team that values human connection and works with purpose to support carers through every stage of their journey.

Successful applicants will have the opportunity to access:

not-for-profit salary packaging benefits to increase take home pay
