In addition you also possess;
- Experience working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people with an employment/case management focus.
- A solid understanding of local jobs as well as the barriers faced by disadvantaged young people.
- Open to deliver workshops and group facilitation with young people (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander specifically).
