ABOUT THE ROLE:

Are you passionate about nutrition and health education? Do you want to make a difference in the lives of people who experience food insecurity? If so, you might be the perfect fit for our NEST Program Coordinator position!

Due to increased demand for our NEST (Nutrition Education Skills Training) program, we are growing our NEST Team in Canberra! As a NEST Program Coordinator, your work will involve coordinating and delivering our NEST program, a six-week program that teaches adults how to cook and eat healthily on a tight budget. Travelling to different charitable agencies each week, you will be responsible for facilitating fun and interactive sessions that include nutrition and food literacy activities, practical cooking lessons, and always ending with a meal together.

TO BE SUCCESSFUL:

• A relevant degree qualification in Nutrition/Dietetics
• Experience in delivering nutrition and health education programs to diverse groups of adults
• Excellent communication, facilitation, and interpersonal skills
• A current driver's license and access to a reliable vehicle
• A positive attitude, a sense of humour, and a passion for OzHarvest's mission

This is a part-time contract position, working 30.4 hours per week from Monday to Thursday until the end of January 2025. Starting in February, the role will transition to a job share arrangement, reducing to two days per week through to mid May. You will report to the NEST Program Team Lead and collaborate closely with our other NEST Program Coordinator, as well as the wider team of NEST Program Coordinators across Australia.
