Experience from fields such as sales, retail, call centres, hospitality, consulting, business development, or administration may transfer well to this position.

You will also advocate for inclusive hiring and workplace adjustments, celebrate placement successes, and build strong relationships with businesses that value diversity and inclusion.

- Funded Certificate IV in Community Services or Mental Health Peer Support, subject to eligibility.
- Service recognition initiatives.
- APM Family Hub support.
- Vehicle salary packaging through Maxxia.
Requirements
You must be eligible to work in Australia, hold a current driver’s licence, and have access to a comprehensively insured vehicle. A Standard MyGovID is required, and you must be willing to complete a National Police Check and pass a Working with Children Check. The role is full-time, Monday to Friday, from 8:30am to 5:00pm.
