Overview
Bara Barang is the Central Coast's only locally‑led Aboriginal organisation dedicated to skilling, training, and long‑term employment. They're trusted because they're Aboriginal‑led, community‑driven, and culturally grounded – the kind of organisation young people and employers genuinely want to work with.
This role is where you support participants in finishing their skilling and preparation phase and step into employment with your guidance, advocacy, and support. As the Make Tomorrow in Manufacturing program scales rapidly, you'll help match the right people to the right jobs and keep them there.
Responsibilities
* Guide participants into employment once they're job‑ready, supporting them through the final stage of their journey into sustainable work.
* Build strong relationships with young Aboriginal participants, understanding who they are, what they want, and the support they need.
* Match participants to the right roles, ensuring workplace fit, cultural safety, and long‑term retention.
* Conduct workplace visits, support onboarding, and monitor outcomes to set participants up for success.
* Advocate for the program by educating employers on culturally safe onboarding and workplace practices.
* Work closely with the Program Manager, another Coordinator, Mentors, and the Program Support Officer to keep the whole workflow aligned.
* Help young Aboriginal people transition from "job‑ready" to "job‑secure".
* Ensure workplace fit with flexibility, autonomy, and a values‑led approach.
Qualifications
* Experience in employment services (e.g., Senior Employment Consultant, Job Coach, Placement Consultant).
* Proven success in employment outcomes, retention, and employer engagement.
* Skilled in job matching: screening, placement, and retention.
* Confident engaging employers and advocating culturally safe practices.
* Strong people skills: build trust, listen, support, and follow through.
* Accurate daily database management with government compliance.
* Respect for cultural safety and Aboriginal young people's needs.
* Current driver's licence + WWCC (or willingness to obtain).
