About the role

Dharriwaa Elders Group (“DEG”) is searching for a detail-oriented, focussed person to work in Walgett, north west NSW, to support The Walgett Partnership Manager in her work with a small team implementing a three year plan across four areas set as priorities by the DEG:

• Youth Justice
• Water and Country
• Aboriginal community leadership and control
• Infrastructure and services

You will be part of a small dynamic team for an innovative community-led long-term partnership between the Dharriwaa Elders Group and UNSW that is working towards systemic change. This role will draw on your collaborative and administrative skills and your willingness to be agile and across the detail of a suite of active projects.

About Us

Our progressive organisation encourages and supports all staff who choose to support the values of the organisation, to navigate what can be a challenging environment.

We are working hard to create and maintain a safe and calm cultural space against a history, in both the general and immediate community, of racism, colonial dispossession, trauma and disadvantage. You will be comfortable with acknowledging and examining this in your daily work.

This role provides a chance to make a significant contribution to systemic change led by an Aboriginal community-controlled organisation.
