Job Description
Position Objectives
The Regional Housing Collaboration – Local Project Coordinator plays a pivotal role in engaging regional organisations and communities to understand the existing service landscape, identify improvements to the existing system and develop priorities to improve responses to regional housing challenges. The Project Coordinator will implement the Collaborate for Change: Advancing Housing Justice in Regional Victoria project in the Mallee region.
The Project Coordinator will work closely with colleagues in parallel roles at each of Victoria's six regional community legal services. Supported by a Project Lead and Impact and Evaluation Lead, collectively they will develop an understanding of the problems faced by regional renters and those experiencing or at risk of homelessness, how they currently seek assistance, and opportunities to improve service coordination and collaboration across the broader housing sector.
The Local Project Coordinator will proactively engage with services and communities in the Mallee region. They will work collaboratively to identify evidence-based solutions and support their implementation and evaluation.
The project will culminate in a report and a housing summit where community legal services, people with lived experience and other allied organisations across the health and community services will meet with decision makers to discuss effective systems improvements to tackle the housing crisis as it is experienced in regional Victoria.
As a part of the MFCCLC team, the Project Coordinator will contribute to improving individual and community wellbeing and resilience through connection with community legal services. The role collaborates with internal MFC teams to focus on stakeholder engagement, project coordination, and monitoring and evaluation activities.
