Kingston, Australia Yourtown Full time
About the Role

Yourtown is a trusted provider of services for young people, with a focus on mental health and wellbeing, long-term unemployment, prevention of youth suicide, child protection, as well as support for those experiencing domestic and family violence.

As the Indigenous Mentor, you will play a critical role in supporting the engagement of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people within the Transition to Work program. Your key responsibilities will include providing culturally specific mentoring and guidance to Indigenous youth aged between 15-24 years of age, helping them develop the skills required to enter and stay in the workforce.

Key Responsibilities
  • Mentoring young people who are in employment to ensure a sustainable pathway.
  • Linking with elders and community organisations within the area to promote our Employment Services and gain new referrals.
  • Organising and running cultural activities and workshops once a week.
  • Educating the team and sharing culturally appropriate resources to help support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people.
  • Building and maintaining employer relationships locally who foster culturally safe workplaces.
  • Creating relationships with employers to support and understand their needs to support both their business and young people's success on the job.
Requirements

You will be passionate about working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people, and truly believe in every young person's capability to achieve a positive future in everything they do. You will engage and build rapport easily with young people, and understand the importance of community, actively building connections with local elders and community groups.

You will 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.
  • Openness to deliver workshops and group facilitation with young people (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander specifically).
  • Proficient skills in using technology and systems; our compliance requirements are high and your administration needs to be on par with this.
