At CBM Australia, our mission is to end the cycle of poverty and disability. Through our programs, technical advice, and advocacy, we help millions of people transform their lives each year. As Australia’s only international development organisation focused on disability inclusion our work improves the quality of life of people with disabilities living in the poorest countries.
Partnering with local organisations we build and promote an inclusive world in which all people with disabilities enjoy their human rights and achieve their full potential.
The Senior Disability Inclusion Advisor will be a core member of CBM Australia’s Inclusion Advisory team.
You will partner with the disability movement to influence organisations, institutions and systems to realise the rights of persons with disabilities. We believe that tailored input, communicated effectively, with the right people at the table can help make equity and inclusion a reality.
We work with a range of national and international development partners and contractors to support disability inclusion in their work, including by providing programming and policy advice, conducting disability related analysis, research, mentoring and capacity development. This includes government and non-government organisations, managing contractors and universities.
Our work is fast-paced, diverse and growing. Working with us, you could be involved in analysing data, facilitating a workshop, or helping an overseas disability rights organisation plan their strategy (sometimes, all in the same week).
We are currently seeking someone with a balance of knowledge, skills and advisory experience to complement our existing team and pool of consultants, to help meet the growing demand for our services.
Our team of Disability Inclusion Advisors is made up of people from a variety of professional backgrounds and life experiences, including allied health professionals, development and humanitarian workers, social workers, human rights lawyers, and former diplomats. We want to work with colleagues who believe their experience and interest aligns with and can help inform our vision and approach.
