  • Ability to build strong relationships and act as a positive role model for young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men.
  • Experience leading, mentoring, and inspiring a small team.
  • Excellent communication skills with students, schools, families, and partners.
  • Highly organised, proactive, and able to manage multiple priorities.
  • Passion for youth development, education, sport, and community engagement.

Experience in education, sport coaching, youth work, or community development is highly valued.

  • Join a supportive, energetic, and team-focused workplace.
  • Access ongoing training, professional development, and career advancement opportunities.
  • Competitive salary and benefits, including salary packaging.
