Exciting new opportunity to lead a dynamic and skilled team!

• Full time or part time position (min 3 days) with salary of $145,000+ excluding superannuation

• Flexible work location

• This employment opportunity is only available to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

• Applications will be reviewed upon receipt

About the role 

This newly developed leadership position of Executive Director, First Nations will lead FYA’s work to build the power of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people to beat injustice and transform the future. This will include identifying opportunities to build the capacity of First Nations youth-led organisations, coaching young First Nations advocates, designing large scale First nations youth engagement projects, and supporting our consulting business, YLab, in delivery of co-design projects with young First Nations people.

Core responsibilities

• Relationship building – Deeply engage with young First Nations people, Aboriginal controlled organisations, elders and other community members, to build relationships, understand issues and priorities, and set collective strategy.
   

• Strategy and thought-leadership – Develop and deliver a dedicated strategy to build the capacity of First Nations youth-led organisations, including:

  • assessing the impact and appropriateness of existing initiatives, 

  • identifying strategic opportunities where financial investment, training or other structured support would enable growth in impact and sustainability

  • sharing this analysis through preparation of strategy memos or briefings
     

• Capacity building – Work closely with FYA colleagues to ensure strong First Nations engagement with our grant-making, training and other capacity-building programs, including:

  • participation in events, and delivery of training.

Depending on resources and your strategy, this work is likely to include a mix of approach – sometimes First Nations young people will participate in programs together with non-First Nations young people.

• Strategist and connector- Acting as an immediate point of contact and relationship holder for First Nations young people with FYA, facilitating participants into other programs of the organisation, such as advocacy, strategic projects and YLab.

  • Advocacy – Work closely with the Executive Director, Advocacy, to shape and deliver an advocacy plan for First Nations youth issues. The substance of this program is to be determined but it might focus on issues of economic injustice, criminal justice, or beyond.

  • Strategic Projects – Advise on the development of both dedicated First Nations-focused projects, as well as the cultural safety and design of general programs. At FYA, our Strategic Projects are long-term initiatives that shift the power of young people in particular systems.

  • YLab – Identifying opportunities for young First Nations people to become YLab Associates and/or First Nations organisations to benefit from YLab’s First Nations practice.
     

• General support as required. Support colleagues across the organisation to effectively and thoughtfully work with First Nations young people, including from time to time, acting as a secondary consultant on YLab First Nations projects, or coaching  young First Nations advocates.
