ABOUT US
The Salvation Army is a Christian movement and one of Australia's largest and most-loved charities. We believe in doing good that transforms lives and futures for the better. It is this belief which drives us to find new ways and places where we can make a difference. From times of personal crisis to moments of national grief, we are always here — providing support, safety, community, and opportunity.
Are you experienced in learning and development with a passion for retail and building capability in others? Do you enjoy partnering with leaders to support team growth and drive business outcomes? If so, this could be the opportunity for you.
The Role
We currently have an exciting opportunity for a Training Partner (QLD) to join our National Workforce Development team.

You will play a key role in onboarding, coaching, facilitating training programs, supporting national initiatives, and driving learning outcomes across the Queensland network.
Salvos Stores plays an essential role in supporting local communities and is a destination for second-hand retail enthusiasts across Australia. We are looking for a passionate and engaging learning professional who thrives on building relationships, developing people, and making a meaningful difference through their work.
No two days are the same at Salvos Stores. You'll be part of a collaborative national team that is committed to creating positive learning experiences that enable our people and volunteers to succeed.
