ABOUT AUSTRALIANS TOGETHER

Australians Together is a not-for-profit organisation that believes better outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people begin with a change in perspective of all Australians. We help non-Indigenous people learn the true story of our shared history, understand how it’s still having an impact today and find meaningful ways to respond. We support educators to confidently embed First Nations histories, cultures and perspectives into their teaching. We do this by creating Curriculum Resources and delivering Professional Learning workshops to teachers. We also have resources for workplaces, churches, and all people who call Australia home.

THE ROLE

As the Head of Operations, you’ll be a key member of the Australians Together Lead Team. You’ll be primarily responsible for ensuring excellent operational and enablement practices across the organisation, to help drive Australians Together’s (AT’s) growth and success into the future.

Along with other members of the lead team, you’ll work closely with the Executive Director to develop and execute the strategy for AT. You’ll increase our efficiency and effectiveness in operations, supporting the lead team to meet targets and priorities. Your excellent people skills will enable those around you to flourish in their roles.

• a track record in developing people and watching them thrive, by embedding the continuous improvement people and culture plans of the organisation.
