Gladstone Seafarers Centre are always on the look out for new members to join our team.
We welcome volunteers from all walks of life and all skill sets. Our general day to day positions that are so very vital to the operation of the centre include bus drivers and shop attendants. We provide full training for these positions and no previous experiences or special licenses are required.

If you have a specific skill set then it’s likely that we are in need of it. Be it marketing, sales, gardening, accounts, mechanics, painters, cooks, knitters, sewers, lawyers, doctors or truck drivers, we have a welcome space for you all.
Our hours of operation can vary from week to week and we welcome volunteers of all commitment levels. From 5 regular shifts per week to an occasional on call shift when you have the time.
At Gladstone Seafarers Centre we recognise and appreciate the input of every individual that crosses our path.
No matter what your role within our centre your contribution to the welfare service and the sense of home we are creating for International and Domestic Seafarers who visit the port of Gladstone will always be appreciated.
