About The Role
The Specialist Indigenous Support plays an important role in strengthening the capability of leaders and line areas so they can create the right environment for Indigenous employees to thrive. While still providing direct support to individuals when needed, the primary focus is on building leaders confident, culturally understanding and operational practices that result in sustained, meaningful Indigenous participation across the site.
The role will support Saraji, Peak Downs, Caval Ridge and Goonyella on a 4:3 roster.
Key Responsibilities
* Enable Line Leaders to effectively support their Indigenous workforce by coaching, advising and building their cultural capability, ensuring they understand their role in creating a safe, inclusive and high‐performing environment.
* Partner with the Superintendent to align site‐level Indigenous participation goals, KPIs and support mechanisms with the broader business plan and workforce strategy.
* Work collaboratively with HR, Health, Employee Relations and Indigenous Engagement teams to design, implement and embed programs that strengthen Indigenous attraction, retention and career development across all Assets and sites.
* Act as a cultural advisor and advocate, ensuring cultural, social and community considerations are understood and integrated into planning, decision‐making and daily operations.
* Support Indigenous employees through targeted, one‐on‐one guidance and career conversations, escalating issues to the Superintendent when needed, while ensuring leaders remain the primary support channel.
* Create opportunities for cultural connection and belonging, including yarning circles and other culturally appropriate forums that reinforce safety, trust and community.
* Contribute actively to the Indigenous Support Lead (ISL) Community of Practice, sharing learnings, resources and innovative practices that uplift Indigenous support nationally.
* Oversee Indigenous support activities at site, ensuring processes, systems and escalation pathways are clear, consistent and embedded in business routines.
