We acknowledge the traditional custodians of these lands and waters and we welcome the opportunity to learn more about Aboriginal people of Australia. We value relationships with our local Aboriginal community and appreciate applications from its members.
SSI is a community organisation and social business that supports newcomers and other Australians to achieve their full potential. We work with people with a refugee and asylum-seeking background, culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities, people with disability, youth and children and more to build capacity and enable them to overcome inequality.
Work+Stay is a new social enterprise that connects regional employers with job seekers from beyond the local employment market. It assists job seekers to relocate, work and settle in regional communities for the long-term, reducing employer vacancy and turnover costs and building thriving regional communities.
You have knowledge and understanding of project management and operation and experience working with CALD and other communities. You are very organised, self-managed, motivated and are a strong and effective communicator.
Familiarity with regional relocation initiatives and visas schemes would be greatly advantageous. Acquainted with barriers to employment faced by diverse community members, you will naturally be empathetic. Entrepreneurial, persuasive and outcome focused are also attributes that will see you succeed in this unique and exciting position.
Please respond to the "About You" section in your cover letter.
We offer the opportunity to engage in meaningful work that makes a real difference to the lives of our clients, their families, carers, and communities.
We have a fantastic benefits package that promotes work/life balance; something we are very passionate about! This includes flexible working arrangements and generous salary packaging options so you can increase your take home pay!
Our workplace reflects the communities we serve and where everyone feels empowered to bring their full authentic selves to work. Together, we continue to build an inclusive culture that encourages, supports, and celebrates the diverse voices and abilities of our employees.
We strongly believe in protecting the safety and well-being of children and vulnerable communities and take child protection very seriously. All employees will undergo a National Police Clearance and a Working with Children Check as a condition of employment.
SSI will provide reasonable adjustments in our recruitment processes and in the workplace.
