Summary

We are seeking a highly motivated and organised Alumni and Pathways Wellbeing Lead to join our team at our Head Office located in Helensvale. The successful candidate will be responsible for developing mental health and wellbeing programs to support positive wellbeing outcomes for Yalari Alumni. This role requires experience working with young Indigenous adults in a variety of life, education and work settings. Strong cultural awareness and experience, exceptional communication skills, and the ability to work independently and as part of a team are crucial.

About Us

For almost 20 years, Yalari has been changing the lives of Indigenous children from remote and regional communities, by providing scholarships to Australia’s leading boarding schools.

Over that time, we have developed and refined the support programs that help our students achieve academically, keep them motivated to succeed, connect them with their culture and each other and, most importantly, inspire them to ‘pay it forward’ by helping others to follow in their footsteps.

After graduation, our alumni continue to be powerfully connected to each other and the Yalari community. With access to programs to support leadership, professional and personal growth, our alumni are empowered to grow and develop as both leaders and professionals in community, business and Australia.

Yalari is built on partnerships: partnerships with our students, their families and communities; partnerships with our schools; and, alongside everything we do, partnerships with our sponsors and supporters.

Our core values of compassion, openness, respect, resilience, inclusiveness and excellence are at the heart of everything we do.
