Disability Inclusion Advisor at CBM Australia

What we do

We’re a team of international development professionals, working alongside the disability movement to ensure that development and humanitarian programs include people with disabilities. Our advisors seek to influence the programs of other aid agencies to be more inclusive of people with disabilities. See more about the work of our team here: https://www.cbm.org.au/inclusionadvisorygroup

We partner with the disability movement to influence organisations, institutions, and systems to realise the rights of persons with disabilities. We believe that tailored input, communicated effectively, with the right people at the table can help make inclusion a reality.

Our work is fast-paced, diverse and growing. Working with us, you might crunch data for a report, facilitate a workshop, or help an overseas disability rights organisation plan their strategy (sometimes, all in the same week).

What we offer

• Attractive salary packaging for employees
• Frequent travel (when we’re allowed) all over South East Asia and the Pacific – and sometimes further afield
• Professional development, including lots of peer learning
• You’ll work with diverse and creative colleagues who are equally passionate about social justice, and having fun at work
• You’ll be able to bring your whole self to work – we’re serious about the good vibes

Our team is made up of people with diverse professional backgrounds and life experiences, from former diplomats to humanitarian workers and allied health professionals.
