  • Help young Aboriginal people transition from "job-ready" to "job-secure"
  • A program tripling in size. Real impact, real growth
  • Salary packaging, extra leave days, flexibility and purpose-driven work

A role where you can actually see the impact of your work. In real workplaces, with real people.

This is where you support participants in finishing their skilling and preparation phase, and step into employment with your guidance, advocacy, and support.

Bara Barang is the Central Coast's only locally led Aboriginal organisation dedicated to skilling, training, and long-term employment. They're trusted because they're Aboriginal-led, community-driven, and culturally grounded. The kind of organisation young people and employers genuinely want to work with.

As the Make Tomorrow in Manufacturing program scales rapidly (tripling in size under a $4.5M funding deed), they need a Coordinator who can match the right people to the right jobs — and help them stay there.

You're not just "placing" people.

You're building confidence, creating pathways, supporting retention, and shaping futures.

And the benefits match the impact. A $90k–$100k base + salary packaging (hello, higher take-home pay), three extra days of leave, flexibility and autonomy, and a fast-growing, high-trust, values-led organisation.

The Role

You'll guide participants into employment once they're job-ready, supporting them through the final stage of their journey into sustainable work. You'll build strong relationships with young Aboriginal participants, understanding who they are, what they want, and the support they need. Matching participants to the right roles will be key, ensuring workplace fit, cultural safety, and long-term retention.

You'll also conduct workplace visits, support onboarding, and monitor outcomes to set participants up for success. In addition, you'll advocate for the program by educating employers on culturally safe onboarding and workplace practices, while working closely with the Program Manager, another Coordinator, Mentors, and the Program Support Officer to keep the whole workflow aligned.

You'll Bring

· Experience in employment services (e.g., Senior Employment Consultant, Job Coach, Placement Consultant).

· Proven success in employment outcomes, retention, and employer engagement.

· Skilled in job matching: screening, placement, and retention.

· Confident engaging employers and advocating culturally safe practices.

· Strong people skills: build trust, listen, support, and follow through.

· Accurate daily database management with government compliance.

· Respect for cultural safety and Aboriginal young people's needs.

· Current driver's licence + WWCC (or willing to obtain).

If you want a role where you're out in the community, building futures, and creating real change, this is your chance.
