The Employment Specialist will focus on supporting Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander customers by providing intensive mentoring to ensure their transition into employment is successful and sustained.
This role requires an understanding of the issues affecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and an ability to communicate sensitively and effectively in order to build trusting relationships.
It would be advantageous for the preferred candidate to identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander or have extensive experience working with customers within this cohort.
