Are you passionate about advancing the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children?

SNAICC – National Voice for our Children, the national peak body for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, is seeking an experienced Project Manager to provide exceptional leadership and strategic management to ensure the creation and ongoing sustainability of an innovative pilot support service for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander early years services, in partnership with service leaders and project partners. 

The Early Years Intermediary Project focuses on establishing an Aboriginal-led intermediary / backbone support model that assists the development of Aboriginal early years services in key areas including: workforce development; program and policy support; advocacy support; and networking and service integration. Social Ventures Australia is a key project implementation partner with SNAICC.

The goal of the Project Manager’s work is to support a thriving Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community-controlled early years sector, contributing to increased service access and culturally strong supports for children’s early learning and development. The Project Manager will support all aspects of project management for the establishment of an initial pilot intermediary / backbone support service and its evaluation, including innovation and problem solving, as well as exploring opportunities for scaling of the model. 

The role will be suitable for an experienced leader and project manager, with skills in areas including stakeholder consultation and management, service and workforce development, managing project timelines and budgets, donor management and building non-government, government sector and supporter partnerships. 

This opportunity is ideal for exceptional individuals with demonstrated ability to work, liaise with and mentor Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and organisations; and facilitate their involvement in consultations and project activities, as well as experience in the successful establishment of an innovation, organisation or business. 

Specific knowledge and understanding of issues impacting upon Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families, particularly in the early years sector is desirable.

Note: The initial pilot location is expected to be in NSW with occasional travel to partner sites required as part of the role. 

SNAICC strongly encourages Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to apply
