Job Description

Most people don't drop out of apprenticeships because the work is too hard.

n

They leave because life gets in the way. Money pressure. Home life issues. Confidence knocks.

n

Workplace struggles. Feeling unsupported. Feeling unseen.

n

That's where you come in.

n

This is the kind of role where the small things matter.

n

You notice when someone hasn't eaten lunch. When they stop answering calls. When their confidence drops.

n

And instead of waiting for things to unravel, you step in early with practical support, guidance, and genuine care.

n

You'll support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander apprentices, trainees, and students through the moments that often determine whether they finish their qualification or walk away from it altogether.

n

And the impact is real.

n

You won't just be ticking boxes or making referrals from a distance. You'll build trusted relationships with young people, employers, training providers, schools, and families to keep everyone connected,



and moving forward together.

n

You'll also be joining a team that genuinely lives its values.

n

The culture here is community-first, supportive, and deeply grounded in purpose. It's a small, committed team where people care about the work and about each other.

n

Flexibility is supported, a pool car is available, and your voice and lived experience will be valued.

n

Bara Barang Corporation is a not-for-profit Aboriginal organisation based on Darkinjung Country, focused on empowering Aboriginal young people through culture, mentoring, education, and employment pathways.

n

Through the Barranggirra: Aboriginal Skilling for Employment program, delivered in partnership with Training Services NSW, they support Aboriginal young people the whole way through training and into long-term employment where they can thrive.
