  • Communicate clearly and respectfully, including with people from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds
  • Deliver workshops and information sessions in accessible and culturally appropriate ways
  • Keep accurate records and use digital tools (e.g. a CRM or other system) to track engagement and outcomes

It will also be an advantage if you have:

Responsibilities

Working within a small team, the Community Organiser will deliver engagement and education activities in Tasmania, reporting to the Project Coordinator. The role has responsibility for connecting directly with migrant workers and their employers, providing clear and accessible information, and ensuring workers and employers are supported to understand, uphold, and act on their workplace rights and obligations.

The Community Organiser will work within a small team to:

  • Deliver education and information to temporary visa holders and employers on migration-related workplace rights and obligations
  • Contribute to the development and implementation of the community engagement strategy, including identifying emerging issues and supporting the communication strategy
  • Work collaboratively with community leaders, migrant communities, unions, service providers and other organisations to create opportunities for delivering accurate information and education in accessible, and culturally appropriate ways
  • Identify and support emerging leaders within migrant communities to strengthen community education

There are three (3) Community Organiser positions available, to be employed at level 6-7 depending on skills and experience.
We strongly encourage applications from people with lived experience as migrant workers, or from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. This experience brings valuable perspectives to this work, so we encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet every selection criterion.
