About This Opportunity
We have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Engagement & Project Coordinator to join the UQ Poche Centre for Indigenous Health and support the ATLAS Indigenous Primary Care Surveillance Network (ATLAS). This role offers high autonomy and the chance to contribute to nationally significant work improving sexual health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, while working as part of a multidisciplinary team and with other Indigenous colleagues across the centre.

In this role, you will lead engagement across the ATLAS Network, build and sustain culturally respectful relationships, develop and implement engagement strategies, coordinate major activities including the annual ATLAS Stakeholder Workshop, and provide guidance on using ATLAS data tools, while contributing to continuous improvement and working closely with the Project Manager.
