Achieve Something Great
Are you an Aboriginal person with strong cultural knowledge, connection to community and a passion for building cultural capability?
This is an opportunity to join SWSLHD as an Aboriginal Cultural Capability Facilitator and play a key role in strengthening cultural capability and cultural safety across a large metropolitan Local Health District.
You will facilitate Aboriginal cultural capability training across the South Western Sydney region, supporting staff to build their knowledge, understanding and confidence to work respectfully and safely with Aboriginal people, families and communities. You will also contribute to broader cultural capability strategies and initiatives that strengthen culturally safe workplaces and improve the experience of Aboriginal people accessing our health services.
Working across Liverpool and Campbelltown Hospitals, as well as other sites and services across SWSLHD, you will build relationships, facilitate meaningful conversations and support staff to turn cultural learning into culturally safe practice.
What you’ll do
- Work collaboratively within the Aboriginal Cultural Capability team, contributing to shared priorities, supporting colleagues and maintaining a flexible, team-focused approach.
- Design, facilitate and evaluate and continuously improve cultural capability programs, including Respecting the Difference and broader workforce development initiatives.
- Facilitate challenging conversations about Aboriginal culture, racism, bias and cultural safety, confidently responding to resistance, questions and differing perspectives.
- Contribute to organisation-wide cultural capability strategies, resources and initiatives that strengthen cultural safety for Aboriginal staff, patients, families and communities.
- Build relationships with Aboriginal communities and stakeholders across the organisation to ensure Aboriginal perspectives and community knowledge inform cultural capability activities.
- Work independently while managing competing priorities across multiple sites and services.
