About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Advisor to join our team at First People Recruitment Solutions. As a key member of our team, you will be responsible for developing and delivering leading practice and community-based approaches to increase and retain the number of Indigenous people working, teaching, researching, leading, and collaborating at UniSQ.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Developing programmes and strategies to increase Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander attraction, recruitment, engagement, career development, retention, and success at UniSQ.
  • Collaborating with stakeholders to create pathways to help us 'grow our own' First Nations talent.
  • Helping to build the organisation's cultural safety, which supports a sense of belonging for First Nations peoples, history, and cultures.

This is a collaborative role which works closely with the Pro Vice-Chancellor, First Nations, and other First Nations employees and community members as well as being part of a supportive Diversity and Talent Strategy team.

We are looking for an experienced First Nations professional who is passionate about positively shaping the First Nations employee experience at UniSQ. You will have experience working and communicating sensitively and effectively with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, including a sound knowledge of both cultures and societies.

  • You will apply empathy and build rapport with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees and communities and be highly aware of differences in communication in cultural contexts.
  • You will have knowledge of contemporary human resources practices, particularly recruitment, employment and career development strategies and practices.
  • You will have highly developed written communication skills, with the ability to write and edit strategy documents, promotional content for the UniSQ jobs website and practical information for the intranet.
  • You will have experience in developing, implementing, evaluating, and reporting on projects and initiatives.

Achievement relative to opportunity is actively considered as part of recognising and valuing the diversity of the career and life experiences of our people. Candidates who are interested in the position are encouraged to apply even though they may feel they are not strong on individual selection criteria.

This is a full-time, permanent position based on the Toowoomba or Ipswich Campus. A minimum 1 day a week at the Toowoomba Campus is required.

We encourage applications from Indigenous Australians and Non-Indigenous Australians together with people from culturally diverse backgrounds.

We acknowledge the traditional owners of country throughout Australia and recognize their continuing connection to land, waters and community. We pay our respect to them and their cultures; and to elders both past, present and emerging.
