Your opportunity

As a First Nations Partnerships Specialist, you’ll be reporting to the First Nations Program Manager, and will be responsible for the strategic management and oversight of relationships with First Nations Stakeholders at a State and Regional Level. Working side by side with people who go the extra mile, you’ll also love the feeling of helping children and adults who need us. Here’s how you’ll do it:

• Forge new partnerships and strengthen existing ones with key First Nations Stakeholders to support Hearing Australia’s commitment to improving ear health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples
• Actively contribute to First Nations reporting, data collection, checking, and collation at a state level
• Work closely with Outreach Managers on the development and implementation of the Shared Hearing Services Plans and service level agreements (SLA’s)
• Provide cultural advice to hearing centres and support the delivery of cultural competency training as required
• Attend regular meetings with State Outreach manager and other team members

We believe the successful candidate will have an ability to communicate effectively and build and maintain constructive and respectful partnerships with First Nation peoples and stakeholder groups. You’ll bring:

• This is an identified Aboriginal or Torres Strait Island position.
• Current Working with Children Check (or ability/willingness to obtain)
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office 365 suite
• A current driver’s license
• Experience working with First Nations communities in a culturally sensitive and safe manner

What matters most? It’s simple – your drive to help anyone and everyone who needs us. And you’ll see your role as a real responsibility and an incredible opportunity to make an impact on lives across the country.
