Group Facilitator
Amber Community is looking for experienced group facilitators in various locations in Regional Victoria. Currently, positions are available in Bendigo, Morwell, Horsham, Shepparton, Geelong and Mildura.
Our programs work with people at risk of or have traffic-related offences, as well as those that are proactive/preventative, addressing road safety and the prevention of harm on our roads.
For accessibility to programs, the work is casual, and we are looking for people who can work across the day, evenings, and Saturdays, depending on the need.
These positions require people to have experience working with groups that create conversations. As these programs are brief interventions, group facilitators must create a safe space quickly to allow participants to openly share their driving behaviour and work on ways to prevent risky driving.
This role will also include facilitating diverse groups within a restorative and narrative framework, and a strong experience working within therapeutic or psycho/educational programs is required.
Road trauma/safety programs aim to change attitudes and behaviour and reduce risky driving. They are based on restorative principles and a narrative framework using lived experience speakers with experiences of road incidents and presenters from the emergency services. The program aims are to:
- Confront and evaluate participant belief systems regarding traffic-related offending
- Bring about a shift from blame to choice
- Assist participants in identifying and managing precursors to the offending
- Provide peer discussion and problem-solving
- Provide reality-based learning using lived experience speakers
Please call Chris Harrison on 0407 826 700 to talk further about the position.
Applicants must address the key accountabilities, meet the capabilities framework and legal requirements, have a recent CV, and send their application to Chris Harrison.
Training will be provided at a date to be determined.

Work is on a casual/flexible arrangement, and you become a part of a team with six other fabulous Regional Coordinators/group facilitators that work well together and bring diverse backgrounds to the discussions at our monthly meetings.
No matter what we do, it’s all about having conversations about the issues and solutions to creating a change for safer roads. Whether with community leaders, referrers to our programs, or the participant and community member individually. It’s about being real and having people feel heard and for a shared understanding of how we can influence what is happening on our roads. Reducing the impacts and incidents across our communities after road trauma.
