We help institutions think differently, we help redesign systems by learning about what works in communities, and work hand-in-hand with our passionate partners to take real action and drive positive social change.

**The** Employment Team**
The Employment team is one of SVA’s Social Impact Initiatives. Predominantly philanthropically funded, SVA’s Social Impact Initiatives use a diverse set of capabilities to develop solutions to challenging social problems by shifting practices, policies and funding that impact the lives of people experiencing exclusion, poverty, or disadvantage.

Over the next two years, the team will work with employers, young people, community, and academic partners to mobilise a network of employers committed to increasing quality jobs and career pathways for young people from less privileged backgrounds as part of delivering the Rebuilding the Career Ladder Initiative.

**Who you are**

Your experience may span across one or more of the following areas: diversity, equity and inclusion, disability employment, human resources, industrial relations, vocational education and training (VET) and/or work placement support.

While your specific experience may be in one or more these areas, at the heart of it, the goal of your work has been to support young people who have traditionally encountered barriers to gainful employment to find quality jobs and career pathways, ensuring their voices and perspectives are centred in the work.

You bring demonstrated experience researching, sharing and promoting evidence-based practice for a diverse range of employer audiences in a way that makes sense to them. You are a builder and nurturer of strong networks and relationships, recognising the value of building coalitions to create positive change. You are open and ready to learn, recognising the complexity of entrenched social issues and that it is essential to continuously test and refine your approach to achieve the best outcomes.
