About Common Threads & Australian Progress

Common Threads is a new First Nations-led organisation, harnessing the power of First Nations leadership, advocacy and change-making to win transformative change. We are a team of campaigners, storytellers and community-builders - working in collaboration with First Nations communities across the country to build momentum for Treaties, truth-telling, climate justice and self-determination.

Common Threads is currently incubated by the Centre for Australian Progress and this position will be employed by Australian Progress. Australian Progress plays a unique role in building the capacity of social change organisations and movements to advocate and win. We are building a civil society where organisations and movements are capable, connected, innovative, and centring lived expertise to advocate and win systemic change.

Community Organiser Key Responsibilities

Coaching and mentoring volunteers, supporting both First Nations people and allies to build Together for Treaty action groups in their communities across the country
Coordinating and delivering training for volunteers to build their community organising and campaigning skills, both online and in-person
Leading recruitment and promotion for trainings, community events and mobilisations
Building strong relationships with First Nations organisations, community groups and alliance partners
Drafting campaign resources such as conversation scripts, guides for hosting events, door-knocking, etc.
Supporting with logistics and administration tasks, such as merchandise distribution

Key Selection Criteria

We’re looking for a community-builder with a passion for First Nations justice to scale up grassroots action in support of Treaty across Victoria and around the country.

Demonstrated community organising experience: You understand what it takes to bring people together, build effective teams, inspire collective action and develop the leadership of others. You have a strong understanding of community organising principles and experience in social change campaigns, either in a volunteer or paid capacity.
Strong written and verbal communication skills: You can write accessible and inspiring communications materials for a range of audiences, you’re a confident public speaker and can build strong relationships within diverse movements.
Training and facilitation experience: You have experience designing and delivering training (e.g. workshops and presentations), coaching, and developing leadership by giving and receiving feedback.
Campaigning skills and strategic thinking: You have a strong understanding of the Australian political and media landscape as it relates to movements for First Nations justice and social change (or you’re excited to learn in these areas).
Teamwork and adaptability: You’re a team player who is open to learning on the job, trialling new ideas, and giving and receiving feedback to grow. You don’t mind some repetitive tasks from time-to-time and you’re willing to adapt in light of emerging campaign opportunities.
Commitment to Common Threads’ values, including an interest in social change, a commitment to First Nations justice and experience working as part of or alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
