WELLBEING and SUPPORT PRACTIONERS x 2

About 3rd Space

Based in Fortitude Valley, 3rd Space provides care and support to our community’s most vulnerable people – those who are at risk of homelessness or are currently homeless. We offer a safe environment with direct service intervention that aims to collaborate with visitors to the Centre to break the cycle of homelessness. 

Our services range from Centre-based activities, such as a low-cost café, day rest area, showers and laundry facilities, to medical services and professional advice on housing, legal and wellbeing matters. Individual and family support is also provided to increase stability of housing.

Our vision to break the cycle of homelessness is reflected in our mission to support people today and prepare them for tomorrow and our values of respect, dignity, persistence and integrity.

The Services Team is essential to achieving this vision. 

3rd Space is a registered charity funded by government, donations, partnerships and other income.

We are an equal opportunity employer.
