ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re seeking a passionate and community-minded professional to lead the delivery of a CALD (Culturally and Linguistically Diverse) inclusion project at headspace. This role is all about building strong relationships, increasing cultural safety, and improving access to mental health services for young people and families from CALD backgrounds.
Working closely with local organisations, schools, and communities, you’ll co-design culturally responsive programs, provide support and training to our team, and act as a visible, trusted contact point for CALD young people accessing headspace. You’ll also drive the implementation of a multi-year grant project focused on cultural inclusion, coordinate the translation of key resources, and embed inclusive practices into every layer of our service.
We strongly encourage applicants who are part of the local CALD community and/or have lived experience of navigating services across cultures and languages. Knowledge of local language groups, cultural customs, and community strengths will be highly valued and central to your success in the role.
The role is dynamic and varied, combining project coordination, community engagement, partnership building, and capacity development. You’ll be supported by a collaborative team, and your work will directly shape a more inclusive, safe, and welcoming service for all young people.
If you’re committed to cultural inclusion, community partnerships, and empowering diverse voices, we’d love to hear from you.

TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN THIS ROLE YOU WILL HAVE:

• Strong engagement skills with young people, families, and community groups, including those from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
• Demonstrated ability to build trusted relationships and act as a connector between community and services.
• Experience in delivering or supporting community-based programs, workshops, or outreach activities.
• Confidence in adapting communication styles to suit diverse cultural contexts and audiences.
• Commitment to co-design and collaborative approaches that centre community voices.
• Ability to manage priorities and work flexibly across community and service settings.
