Mount Isa, Queensland, Australia beBeeCommunity Full time

Children's Ground, a First Nations organisation, aims to drive systems change ensuring dignity, justice, and equity for all children and families. Our approach focuses on national reform, highlighting the importance of a new way of working.

The Children's Ground Approach is a whole-of-community, whole-of-life strategy. We prioritise First Nations knowledge systems and practices, leveraging local expertise to create an integrated system centred on learning, development, and wellbeing. This approach responds to the child and their family through key transition points from pre-birth to young adulthood.

We recognise the cultural, social, and economic strength of our communities. By building on this foundation over a generation, we strive to ensure a future for our children and grandchildren that offers freedom, opportunity, and rights to their culture and identity.

Our presence spans Central Australia and the Top End, with support provided by a Shared Services team based in Melbourne.

About You

This role requires experience as a Youth Worker, Social Worker, or Community Program Coordinator. Proven experience in coordinating or managing community-based programs, particularly those focused on youth and families within remote or Indigenous communities, is essential. Project management skills will aid in planning and managing multiple tasks and deadlines. Strong people management skills and a collaborative facilitation style are also crucial.

About the Program

The Extended Hours Program is a vital component of the Children's Ground Approach. It operates within the Learning and Wellbeing area and encompasses:

  • A range of extra-curricular opportunities crucial for all children, often lacking in First Nations communities
  • Critical learning opportunities occurring outside the traditional school day
  • Positive community-based activities supporting the wellbeing of children, young people, families, and communities
  • Cultural learning happening at any time, in community, out bush, in families, and prioritising creating space and opportunity for this
  • All children and young people deserving wonderful creative and cultural opportunities as they grow

About the Role

This position involves providing coordination and leadership across the Extended Hours programs, focusing on after-hours delivery, a youth steering group, a youth voices and film project, family nights, and a family wellbeing communications initiative.

The extended hours program supports the wellbeing and engagement of children, young people, and families through diverse activities, including after-hours school and youth programs, weekend and school holiday activities, cultural camps, family-based events celebrating culture and achievements, and fostering safety, healing, connection, and empowerment.

Key Responsibilities

  1. Support and guide program planning and delivery to ensure high-quality execution
  2. Act as a dynamic, passionate, and empathetic leader for program participants, staff, and local stakeholders
  3. Collaborate with the Head of Extended Hours Program to ensure local program participants serve as key strategic advisors in program development and delivery
  4. Uphold the cultural, ethical, and corporate social responsibility of the organisation
  5. Meet regularly with local First Nations people and Elders to discuss local aspirations and inform the direction of the program and its activities
  6. Support a comprehensive extended hours program for all CG communities in Central Australia, aligning with both regional and community plans
