**The opportunity**:
Are you passionate about empowering parents and caregivers of children with disabilities?

Healthy Trajectories is a child and youth disability research hub, established in October 2021 as a Melbourne Children's Campus initiative. At Healthy Trajectories, our vision is to optimise the capacity of children and youth with disabilities to reach their full potential for health and participation across their entire lives. As part of our mission, we aim to make a measurable contribution to the National Disability Research Agenda, establish interdisciplinary research programs, and advocate for evidence-based policy and practice changes.

In this role, you will be working on the ENVISAGE-Families project. This project brings together universities, industry partners, and a consortium of experts from across Australia to provide facilitated group workshops for parents and carers of young children aged 0 to 8 years with developmental concerns or newly identified disabilities.

As our National Parent-Peer Officer, you will collaborate with the ENVISAGE Leadership Team and the National Project Manager to support the implementation of the ENVISAGE Families program nationwide.

Additionally, you will play a vital role in administrative, technical, and evaluation activities for the ENVISAGE project, working closely with the project team and the ENVISAGE Leadership Team.

Support the National Project Manager and National Project Officer in the management of subcontractors to facilitate project implementation across Australia, specifically in relation to parent-peer facilitators.
