The Opportunity

Based in our offices across the Western Suburbs (region) reporting to the Program Manager, the Stakeholder Engagement Lead is responsible for planning, implementing, and delivering strategic business development and employer partnership activities that create sustainable employment opportunities for job seekers across the region.

• Influence inclusive practices like job redesign, workplace adjustments, and accessible recruitment

• Understand job‑seeker barriers and match the right talent to the right roles

• Co‑design practical pre‑employment programs with RTOs and community partners

• Focus on long‑term employment outcomes that actually stick

We are seeking a commercially sharp, socially driven professional who can talk workforce strategy with senior leaders and support job seekers facing complex barriers, all in the same day.
