Reporting to the Head of Cricket and First Nations Program Manager, the First Nations Growth Lead will play a key role in the delivery of key strategic initiatives aligned to Cricket Australia’s third Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP).
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are integral to the Australian cricket story - past, present and future - and Northern Territory Cricket have an important role to play nationally in ensuring cricket truly is a sport for all Australians.
The First Nations Growth Lead will be responsible for delivering cricket programs in regional and remote communities throughout the Northern Territory that focus on increasing Indigenous participation and making cricket fun, welcoming and accessible.
The role will deliver great experiences that aim to foster a life-long love of the game of cricket, as well as programs that promote positive health, wellbeing, and social cohesion throughout First Nations communities.
Based on Mparntwe or Larrakia Land, with semi-regular travel to regional and remote communities throughout Central Australia and the Top End, this role will create more opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across all aspects of cricket.
The successful candidate will be a passionate and energetic advocate for diversity and inclusion, possess strong cultural awareness and understanding, and have high levels of teaching, instruction and coaching ability essential to engaging regional and remote communities in sport.
