About the Role

You'll work directly with First Nations students across 10–15 Sydney and regional NSW schools, delivering cultural mentoring and support that builds real, lasting relationships. Your days will look different depending on where you are: running yarning circles with small groups of students, sitting with young people one-on-one, facilitating cultural activities and reflective sessions, leading or supporting cultural events like NRW & NAIDOC Week ceremonies, keynote addresses, and dance or cultural performances. You'll help schools deliver on the new NSW 2027 curriculum requirements for First Nations content, while Bandu's leadership team delivers cultural safety training to school staff.

During school holidays (around 14 weeks per year), you'll support Bandu's broader mission: post-school planning with participants, community and corporate events, participant check-ins, and other program work. You'll report to the Director.
