We are Ethni

Here at Ethni, our vision is to live in a world where cultural and gender inequality no longer exists. We want a world where every young woman feels safe to step into her true power and be her own hero. To make this a reality we are creating safe and empowering spaces where young women from diverse cultural backgrounds can navigate life’s challenges, drive meaningful social change in their community, and shape a more equal world for all. We’ve been doing some amazing work, you can check it out at our website.

We are looking for a new people manager for our team.

Ethni has been operating for 6 years and has established itself as an expert and leader in working with young women from culturally diverse backgrounds. We are very proud of this. Our organisation is driven by the young women we support, and collaboration is built into everything we do. But we need someone to help move into the next stage of our evolution.

We need a leader who strongly aligns with our vision, values and models of practice and who is a passionate advocate for young women and their right to live a life of their choice.
