The Southern Peninsula Laundry and Shower program (SPLaSh) is run off-site on the foreshore.  The program is designed to successfully engage people who are rough sleeping and experiencing other forms of homelessness by offering access to showers, laundry, material aid and a meal.  Many of the people who attend SPLaSh are experiencing extreme crisis and/or severe disadvantage, so the program is managed by skilled paid staff and supported by select skilled volunteers.

SPLaSh volunteers ideally have a background or experience in community work, and will often need to have a period of training within our main centre before going through the SPLaSh selection process and probationary period.

If you are a compassionate person with excellent communication and teamwork skills, and you have experience in working with marginalised and disadvantaged populations, we encourage you to apply.
