Casual
Are you passionate about building inclusive communities and supporting people who are Deaf or hard of hearing? Join the Personal Advocacy Service (PAS) at the Catholic Archdiocese of Perth as our Liaison, Deaf Support, and help create welcoming, accessible social opportunities for all.
About the role – a snapshot:
* Coordinate and Facilitate events – Use your organisational skills to help plan and deliver the regular Deaf Social Night, ensuring all logistics (venue, interpreters, catering, resources) are managed smoothly.
* Make a meaningful impact – Help foster connection and belonging for Deaf and hard of hearing individuals and their families, working alongside Auslan interpreters and community members.

To be successful in this role, you will need strong interpersonal skills and the ability to engage with diverse communities, as well as experience coordinating and/or facilitating events. You will work both independently and as part of a supportive, collaborative team.
Openness to working with Deaf and hard of hearing individuals is essential. Proficiency in Auslan, or a willingness to learn, along with an understanding of Deaf culture and/or lived experience of hearing loss or disability, would be highly advantageous.
