The Freedom Hub exists to end modern slavery in Australia and help survivors rebuild their lives. Our Survivor School provides long-term, trauma-informed support and practical pathways to independence for adults who have experienced modern slavery here in our country.
About the role
Work for a purpose and impact lives for long-term recovery and success.
This is a highly independent role. You will shape the program locally, with weekly reporting to the CEO on growth KPIs for survivors, volunteers and advocacy.
Your hours are flexible over a 48 hour fortnight, some weeks requiring more hours than others. You will be supported with monthly professional supervision, program frameworks and a CEO who understands the weight of this complex and varied role.
The goal is to create a safe, stable and motivating environment where survivors of modern slavery are supported to engage in classes, build skills, restore confidence and move towards long-term employment, independence and thriving. Our focus is on their future freedom, not their past experience.
