Make every day at work an adventure

Human Nature provides a workplace where you can thrive. We value innovation and are guided by a connection with nature. As we continue to expand, we are looking for talented people whose outlook and values match our own. We’re all about empowering and supporting young people and offering them innovative therapy in an outdoor environment.

Board Director 

Treasurer and Non Executive Director positions available 

Human Nature works to change the life trajectory of young people (aged 14-18) who have experienced significant challenges. We know that with the right support they can overcome adversity and thrive. 

Nature is at the heart of what we do. Our primary focus is engagement, through building trust and a strong therapeutic relationship with young people who are otherwise likely to fall through the cracks in the existing mental health system. These are young people who have significant challenges in their lives and who are in need of therapeutic support, but who are unlikely – or unable – to engage in conventional clinical services. We take our service to the young people, meeting them where they feel safe and motivated to connect – their homes, schools, parks and community spaces. 

Human Nature established itself as an independent charity in 2015 and you can can learn more about us in our latest impact report and by visiting our listing on the ACNC website.

We are on a path to build our sustainability with a view to future expansion so we can reach more young people in more places
