About the Organisation
Randstad has proudly partnered with ALPA (Arnhem Land Progress Aboriginal Corporation), one of Australia’s largest Aboriginal-owned benevolent corporations.

About Your Next Role

Training Delivery: Provide onsite and online workplace training of nationally accredited courses following ALPA's quality standards, including small groups as part of the VET in Schools program.
Student Mentorship: Undertake language, literacy, and numeracy assessments, while mentoring and coaching students in person when in communities, and via video/phone when based in Darwin.
RTO Administration: Correctly perform student enrolments, maintain accurate records of course progress, assist workplace coaches, and provide input into improving RTO resources.
Stakeholder Engagement: Actively represent ALPA with community leaders, local government, schools, and business operators when working in remote settings.
Culture & Safety: Be a champion of the ALPA values and demonstrate a strict commitment to work health and safety.
What You Will Need to Bring

Communication Skills: Highly effective interpersonal skills with the ability to adapt your written and oral communication to meet the needs of people from all education levels and language backgrounds.
Licensing: An unrestricted NT C class driver's license (or the ability to quickly obtain one).
Cultural Alignment: Cultural awareness, respect, and a genuine commitment to working effectively with First Nations communities.
Desirable Criteria: Experience working in the Northern Territory or within a remote community, industry experience in retail/community services, and a willingness to upskill across all qualifications offered by ALPA's RTO.
