Summary of program and its objectives:

Given our extensive specialist expertise in the multicultural sector, the Brotherhood plays a role in fostering culturally-responsive practice and/or culturally tailoring material to be more accessible to multicultural communities. It currently takes the form of training to internal and external teams working with families and/or young/aged people, delivered in their own workplaces and/or at Brotherhood sites. Our training workshops are intimate groups with interactive activities aiming to build on existing knowledge and skills, co-delivered by professionals with first-hand practical experience.

We are looking to grow our consultancy work. Hence, the trainer will be part of a pool within the Cross-cultural Consultancy service. The position will be responsible for co-delivering content around cross-cultural responsiveness with the aim of building participants’ capacity to improve community and government services to people from migrant and refugee backgrounds. The participants are predominantly community service and government staff from various areas of the sector

Main responsibilities of the role:   

We’re seeking people who are passionate, have experience working with people of refugee and migrant backgrounds living with disability, and who can deliver engaging, insightful and interactive training. Prior to training, the Trainer/Facilitator will receive a briefing on our existing training modules with their co-facilitator to decide co-delivery content allocation and in future may be part of providing input into the design of the modules.

The Trainer/Facilitator will be involved in setting up the room, engaging the learners, giving and eliciting anecdotes that illustrate important points within the theoretical model, as well as distributing materials and evaluation sheets. The Trainer/Facilitator will not be expected to undertake training material preparation or assessments - as this is non-accredited training – they will solely need to prepare how they wish to deliver the pre- prepared content. The training rate is inclusive of this preparation time.

To meet the selection criteria, candidates will require:

• Demonstrated knowledge and in depth understanding of the challenges and issues faced by people of migrant and refugee background in settlement and accessing services.
• Demonstrated understanding of the aspirations, needs and challenges of people from refugee and migrant backgrounds who are living with disability, or have family members living with disability.
• Cross-cultural skills arising from either community services work with refugee and migrant communities and/or life experience and the ability to articulate and foster the development of this in others.
• Recent industry experience (minimum 2 years) relevant to the area of training delivery.
• Excellent interpersonal and verbal communication skills to deal effectively with a broad range of people from different cultural and socio economic backgrounds.
• Understanding of and empathy with the values and ideals of the Brotherhood.
• Own transport - A current Victorian Driver's License (or the ability to get to various locations reliably for training delivery).

• Certificate IV in Training and Assessment
