Our Mission is to create, lead and demonstrate long-term sustainable change that stops people with a disability from being forced to live in nursing homes because there is nowhere else for them.
The Housing Matching Team works nationally with Specialist Disability Accommodation Providers and people living with disability to allow these people to live independently, often for the first time.
We are working on many projects with some amazing SDA Providers and we have the opportunity to hire an Engagement Expert to join our team! This exciting role, in a rapidly moving start up, will drive and lead our NSW Engagement Initiatives and be our primary representative at Community Engagements, Presentations, Information Sessions, Forums and Conferences. The Community Engagement Coordinator will work with people with disability, their families, supporters and professionals in the sector to connect them with newly built housing. This will be an extremely busy role - which will require extensive travel around NSW and sometimes interstate.
We are looking for a motivated, empowered and passionate professional who loves public speaking, builds relationships, enjoys developing and executing strategy and is happy to be accountable for the whole plan!
The Summer Foundation offers amazing flexibility. We also offer Salary Packaging, a supportive and collaborative team environment and the opportunity to feel good about what you achieve at the end of the day.
People with disability are encouraged to apply. Lived experience is valued by the organisation and looked upon favourably.
