What We're Looking For:

It is a genuine occupational requirement that this position be filled by an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander person.

The successful applicant will have some experience facilitating workshops, and working in community with an understanding of issues and concerns in the sector. You will be able to create a safe space for program participants to be vulnerable about their experiences, encouraging robust discussions, and be accessible to participants outside of workshop days. You will be able to answer complex and sensitive questions relating to culture.

As we deliver our programs state-wide, you need to be willing to travel to regional hubs.

Tertiary qualifications are not required for this role, and while qualifications in HR or business may be helpful, we are much more interested in your experience.
