The BGCS Department of Circular Economy and Sustainability employs approximately 10 staff who work in a number of social enterprises and Banksia’s sustainability and education programs. Our sustainability efforts are well-established, and have attracted multiple awards as an exemplar of community-based climate action and environmental advocacy, practice and education. Our social enterprises were established more recently, as vehicles to provide training and work experience to local young people, many of whom were previously disengaged from study or work.
The Manager Circular Economy and Sustainability will oversee the operations of the department and will lead participatory processes to develop its strategic vision in consultation with the local community and BGCS staff. A key part of the role will be to develop our social enterprises as viable commercial operations, while maintaining and deepening their social impact, utilising wherever possible circular economy principles to reduce waste, repurpose resources and generate economic benefits from sustainable practices. Other critical aspects of the role include the development of supportive partnerships with stakeholders, especially philanthropic funders, the City of Hume and government agencies.
In collaboration with the Executive Management Team, lead participatory processes to develop the department’s strategic vision in consultation with program participants and BGCS staff.
