Global Sisters exists to create a world where every woman is provided with the opportunity to create her own economic future. We make business possible for all women. We work to address practical, structural and systemic barriers to women’s economic participation and sustainable employment. Our strategic focus is on sole parents and older women, as these groups need flexible, decent work that fits in with their circumstances and empowers them socially and economically. Global Sisters supports women to develop a business idea and turn that into self-employment, and in doing so, creates a better future for themselves, their family and their community.

These roles (2 x) provide support for the Global Sisters Women with Disabilities Self-Employment Demonstration Project and the Single Mums on Parenting Payment Single (PPS) Demonstration Project. In these projects, Global Sisters will connect with and support 200 women with disabilities and 300 women who are solo parents on PPS who are interested in self-employment / entrepreneurship. These roles will be responsible for:

• Supporting relationship building and program marketing to partner / aligned organisations and groups

• Regular connection with Sisters 1:1 or in a group to support them to move forward in their business and access the right Global Sisters and external support
