At Beam, you get to do work that really matters. Weâre solving the worldâs toughest social problems. And weâre growing fast đ
About the role
Weâre looking for a Pathway Associate to play a critical role in helping disadvantaged people transform their lives.
Youâll be joining a team of values-driven and creative caseworkers and will be directly responsible for ensuring that people referred to Beam - our âMembersâ - have a great first experience and are quickly set up with the support they need to transform their lives.
As a passionate communicator with impeccable organisational skills, this role will enable you to make a real difference to hundreds of lives
Youâll be
The first point of contact for prospective Beam members - managing our "triage" process, contacting people by phone and text to explain how Beamâs service works, and skilfully navigating any queries that might come up.
Managing a smooth onboarding process - assessing what support members need, collecting documents (such as ID), completing references with other services and more.
Maintaining excitement around the Beam support journey - getting members highly engaged in and excited by their upcoming Beam journey such that an increasing number fully engage throughout their support.
Keeping our partners informed - crafting and sharing insightful updates for our government partners, Beam account managers and caseworkers so everyone is in the loop.
Writing engaging campaigns - learn about the inspiring stories of our members and help craft them into written campaigns for our online crowdfunding pages.
Providing crucial, longer-term support - youâll organise regular check-ins to ensure members who have started work or found stable housing are able to sustain these positive outcomes.
You are
An energetic people person - youâll thoroughly enjoy speaking to people and building relationships. Members will always have their ups and downs but youâll find a way to support them into starting their journey with Beam.
An adaptable and engaging communicator - youâll be great at improvising during tricky phone calls and have strong written communication to ensure all members can easily access the right support tailored to their needs.
Compassionate and resilient - some of our members have been through very challenging times and you'll need high levels of resilience and empathy to navigate more sensitive topics.
A confident multitasker - managing a large number of inquiries and different questions comes as second nature to you, and you thrive in a fast-paced environment.
Emotionally mature and confident - youâll need to set boundaries and be adept at composing yourself in difficult or sensitive scenarios.
A team player who loves a challenge - youâll be collaborating closely with a tight-knit team of caseworkers to enable Beam to support more members
Success looks like
Maximising engagement and excitement of members as they begin their intensive support plan with a Beam caseworker
Owning the member triage process for your team and developing new ways of working to allow members to move through triage more quickly
Positive feedback and sentiment from both our members and government referral partners with regard to the beginning of our Beam support journey
