Join our Team

Who we are looking for:
  • Individuals of diverse backgrounds who are committed to giving back to their community, by improving outcomes for women who are pregnant and parenting.
  • A commitment to working from a Trauma-Transformative Practice framework.
  • If you are someone who is respectful, caring, and flexible, someone who is driven by impact, values and a desire to see change in your community – then Karinya House is the place for you.
What Karinya House Offers:
  • An opportunity to work from a social justice framework, within a small, specialised, grassroots, well regarded Canberra organisation.
  • An organisation that is not aligned to any religious and political perspectives.
  • An opportunity to make a direct impact in the community, by empowering and supporting women who are pregnant or early parenting.
  • Free on-site parking.
