Job Description

About the Role

This is an identified position for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander applicants. The University of Wollongong (UOW) recognises this as a genuine occupational requirement under Section 14 of the NSW Anti-Discrimination Act 1977.

The University of Wollongong (UOW) is seeking an experienced and culturally grounded leader to guide the Woolyungah Indigenous Centre (WIC), a place of connection, belonging and support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. As Senior Manager, you will play a key role in shaping the student experience, leading a dedicated team and strengthening the programs, services and partnerships that support our students throughout their university journey, from their first connection with UOW through to graduation.

Reporting to the Vice President, Indigenous Strategy and Engagement, you will provide strategic and operational leadership, working collaboratively with students, staff, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and university partners to create a culturally safe and empowering environment where our students can achieve academic success, across all UOW campuses.

  • Lead the day-to-day operations of Woolyungah Indigenous Centre and its initiatives that strengthen student access, participation, wellbeing, academic success and career pathways.
  • Drive recruitment, outreach, transition, retention, employability and academic success initiatives that improve student outcomes and engagement.
  • Support, empower and develop a collaborative team, fostering a culturally safe workplace built on respect, shared purpose and accountability.
  • Build meaningful relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, universities staff and external partners to strengthen opportunities and outcomes for our students.

About the Team

Woolyungah Indigenous Centre is more than a student support service. It is a place where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students can connect with culture, community and each other while pursuing their educational and career aspirations. With a proud history of supporting Indigenous students at UOW, Woolyungah brings together dedicated staff, programs and services that nurture a sense of belonging, celebrate culture and support student success.

As part of the Indigenous Strategy and Engagement portfolio, you will join a team committed to strengthening Indigenous education, engagement and opportunities across the University. Together, we work to ensure Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices, perspectives and aspirations are central to the way we support our students and engage with communities.

  • Strong relationship-building and communication skills, with the ability to work across large working environments, communities and organisational settings.
  • Sound strategic and operational judgement, with demonstrated experience managing resources, navigating competing priorities and delivering meaningful outcomes.

We recognise that leadership capability is developed through many pathways, including professional experience, community leadership, cultural knowledge, education and training. We encourage applications from experienced Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leaders whose skills and experience align with the responsibilities of this position.
