Expression of Interest / Tender Brief– Brave Talks Coordinator (Contract, Flexible Hours) | Sydney

Are you passionate about mental health, storytelling, and community connection?

JewishCare, in partnership with JCA The Choice Foundation, invites Expressions of Interest (EOI) or tenders from qualified professionals to deliver a key piece of work coordinating our impactful Brave Talks program.

About Brave Talks

Brave Talks is a powerful storytelling initiative that gives community members a safe and supported platform to share lived experiences with trauma and/or mental health challenges. Each event has a defined budget and a set number of hours allocated for delivery — we’re looking for a professional who can flex their time and engagement around the project schedule and milestones.

About the Opportunity

We’re seeking a compassionate, highly organised professional (individual or small team) to coordinate and deliver the Brave Talks events in collaboration with JewishCare, The Choice Foundation, and key stakeholders.

This includes:

• Recruiting and supporting speakers with sensitivity and care
• Coordinating rehearsals and safe storytelling processes
• Managing all event logistics — from planning to final presentation
• Ensuring clinical safety and appropriateness of content
• Creating a safe, inclusive, and trauma-informed environment for speakers and audiences

This flexible contract role suits someone who values meaningful project work and can scale their hours to align with event needs throughout the year. 

Who We’re Looking For

This is a contract-based role with flexible hours aligned to event delivery cycles. Each event has an allocated budget and defined hours for completion.

We welcome EOIs or tenders from professionals or consultants with:

• Experience supporting individuals living with mental health challenges
• Strong organisational and communication skills
• A trauma-informed, compassionate approach to storytelling and mental health work
• Understanding of Jewish values, culture, and community life
• Experience designing, coordinating, or delivering mental health or lived-experience programs
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively, and manage multiple priorities

Working with JewishCare and JCA The Choice Foundation, you’ll be part of a community-driven program that:

• Reduces stigma around mental health
• Strengthens connection through storytelling
• Empowers lived experience voices in a safe, supported way

You’ll also join a network committed to compassion, inclusion, and meaningful impact.
