Position: Full-Time
Hours: Monday to Friday, 8:30am – 4:30pm

Kirinari’s RISE Training Social Enterprise has a simple but powerful vision: an Australia where people facing barriers to employment are fully included in the workforce.

Kirinari’s mission is to support people to live a good life, and RISE Training plays a crucial role in achieving this by supporting regional Australians to develop the skills, confidence, and experience needed to secure meaningful mainstream employment.

RISE delivers a workplace-based training program underpinned by an evidence-based Employment Capability Framework developed by Jigsaw Australia. Through a combination of practical work experience, individualized support, and targeted skill development, RISE empowers participants to achieve sustainable employment outcomes.

The Senior Trainer plays a key leadership role within the RISE Training Hub, supporting trainees to progress through the RISE Employment Pathway and achieve their employment goals.

Working closely with the Lead Trainer and broader RISE team, the Senior Trainer provides both individual and group-based training, workplace coaching, and mentoring. The role also supports trainees undertaking work experience placements within RISE and with participating local businesses.

Key responsibilities include:

• Delivering high-quality 1:1 and group-based training aligned with the RISE Employment Pathway.
• Supporting trainees to develop workplace skills, independence, and employment readiness.
• Assisting trainees to meet and exceed their individual employment goals.
• Developing and maintaining training resources that align with the RISE Employment Pathway.
• Providing guidance, coaching, and mentoring to Trainers within the hub.
• Supporting the onboarding and development of new Trainers.
• Promoting best practice approaches to participant support and training delivery.
• Contributing to the continuous improvement, quality, and implementation of the RISE Employment Pathway.
• Assisting the Operations Lead to monitor, track, and report on trainee progression against pathway competencies.
• Building positive relationships with trainees, families, support networks, employers, and community stakeholders.

We are looking for someone who is passionate about creating opportunities for people with disability and helping individuals achieve meaningful employment outcomes.

You will bring:

• A passion for working with people with disability, allied health, education, training, or employment services.
• A proactive and solutions-focused approach to supporting others.
• Strong leadership, coaching, and mentoring skills.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• The ability to think creatively and adapt to individual learning needs.
• Strong organisational skills with a high level of attention to detail.
• The ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• An empathetic, patient, and person-centred approach.
• Experience supporting people with complex support needs or challenging behaviours (desirable but not essential).
