Better for being here
We believe in putting people first: including you. Join a team of smart people, doing great things – building genuine relationships, where we care for, respect and support each other. Collaborating, making an impact, and having fun doing it. Bring us your unique skillset and we’ll help you unlock your best. A better career, a better life, a better you, a better us.
Looking to learn more about our culture and benefits? We’ve created an employee handbook just for that!
We know that employee wellbeing underpins engagement and a high-performance culture. So we offer benefits that cover the eight factors of wellbeing, ensuring all employees feel supported and are genuinely better for being here.
Your wellbeing and Yarra Valley Water
Financial wellbeing
This is about much more than your take-home pay. We’ve developed a range of initiatives to ensure you know your best interests are top of mind.
Occupational wellbeing
One team working towards a shared mission means our collective successes belong to us all. Via several rewards, personal growth and leadership programs, we’re supporting the occupational wellbeing of our staff.
Environmental wellbeing
We recognise the rights of our employees to occupy pleasant, healthy and safe environments to support wellbeing while you work. So where possible, our hybrid model offers our people the flexibility to work in a variety of places and ways.
Emotional wellbeing
Life doesn’t always go to plan. Our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a confidential service available to all staff for general check-ins or more comprehensive support during times of crisis.
Social wellbeing
From our social clubs and events, to community volunteering, internal inclusivity initiatives, and charity support – staying connected keeps us grounded in our mission to make a positive difference.
Spiritual wellbeing
A strong sense of purpose and meaning in life allows us to find peace, harmony and balance.
Physical wellbeing
Supporting the physical wellbeing of our staff is not just about health and safety. It’s also promoting physical activity, better nutrition, and healthy habits.
Intellectual wellbeing
From onboarding and orientation, to on-site safety modules, on-the-job coaching, and personal development plans – we support a growth mindset by designing learning into your day-to-day.
