    Good Shepherd Services (GSS) is a not-for-profit organisation incorporated as a Company Limited by Guarantee (CLBG) and registered with the Companies Commission of Malaysia in 2015. Our work in Malaysia traces its roots to Pusat Kebajikan Good Shepherd (PKGS), a crisis shelter for women and children established in 1989, which laid the foundation for GSS's wider social and community programmes in Sabah and Perak. GSS focuses on gender equality and poverty reduction, responding to the needs of underserved and marginalised communities, particularly women and children experiencing abuse, violence, and social exclusion.

    Gaining experience & skills VS sacrificing work life balance
    The good thingsYou will learn a lot working here. Your job scope is not only limited to your title.
    The challengesThis place is great for gaining experience and learning new skills. Working with the community is incredibly fulfilling. However, in various projects, everyone ends up with too many responsibilities and roles, making it hard to focus and spreading us too thin. Moreover, management can be demanding and have unrealistic expectations without fully grasping the situation on-site.
