About the business

The Aboriginal Art Centre Hub of WA (AACHWA) is the peak advocacy and resource agency for Aboriginal art centres in WA. AACHWA delivers professional development programs for managers, boards and artists; provides recruitment advice and services; and acts as an advocate to, and central point of contact for, Regional, State and Federal funding bodies.

About the role

AACHWA is currently seeking a part time (30 hours per week) Training Programs and Events Coordinator (TPEC). The TPEC will work closely with the AACHWA CEO and Manager to develop and deliver events, training programs and professional development activities that meet the needs of Aboriginal art centre boards, managers, arts workers and artists. This is a dynamic role for an experienced individual with a demonstrated commitment to capacity building, event management, training or community development within the creative and cultural sector.

The TPEC will be a collaborative worker who is also self-motivated and can demonstrate independent initiative.

A multi-skilled TPEC will ensure the smooth delivery of the organisation’s professional development agenda through:

  • Identification and effective design of new opportunities for events, training programs and professional development activities in line with AACHWA’s Strategic Plan and the needs of AACHWA’s membership.
  • Coordinating the organisation and delivery of events, training programs and professional development activities, and monitoring and reviewing progress in the implementation of these activities.
  • Keeping up to date with relevant capacity-building events and training tools, training trends and best practices developed by peak bodies and training organisations outside of AACHWA.
  • In conjunction with the CEO and Manager, manage key projects, budgets and activities currently being delivered by AACHWA.
  • Explore new opportunities for local/national events (in person and online) to manage and deliver that will complement AACHWA’s existing calendar of activities and services to its members and promote the organisation’s profile.
  • Develop firm relationships and communication channels with AACHWA member Art Centres and their key personnel (i.e. managers, arts workers and artists where relevant) to provide them with support and advice in areas of greatest need.
