A role where you can actually see the impact of your work. In real workplaces, with real people.
This is where you support participants in finishing their skilling and preparation phase, and step into employment with your guidance, advocacy, and support.
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.
As the Make Tomorrow in Manufacturing program scales rapidly (tripling in size under a $4.5M funding deed), it needs a Coordinator who can match the right people to the right jobs and build strong employer partnerships to make those opportunities possible.
You’re not just “placing” people.
You’re building confidence, creating pathways, supporting retention, shaping futures, and working closely with employers to ensure the right fit on both sides.
And the benefits match the impact. A $90k–$100k base + salary packaging (hello, higher take-home pay), three extra days of leave, flexibility and autonomy, and a fast-growing, high-trust, values-led organisation.
The Role
You’ll guide participants into employment once they’re job-ready, supporting them through the final stage of their journey into sustainable work. You’ll build strong relationships with young Aboriginal participants, understanding who they are, what they want, and the support they need. Matching participants to the right roles will be key, ensuring workplace fit, cultural safety, and long-term retention.
You'll also build and maintain relationships with local employers, understanding their workforce needs and creating opportunities for participants to step into meaningful roles. You’ll conduct workplace visits, support onboarding, and monitor outcomes to set participants up for success. In addition, you’ll advocate for the program by educating employers on culturally safe onboarding and workplace practices, while working closely with the Program Manager, another Coordinator, Mentors, and the Program Support Officer to keep the whole workflow aligned.
