Job description

Are you driven by a passion for health equity and justice for women from diverse backgrounds? Do you want to transform lives by amplifying the voices of women who are often overlooked?

At Sister Circle, we are a local, multicultural women-led charity with over 40 years of experience in enabling women from marginalised communities to empower themselves. Our mission is to support those most at risk of poor healthcare outcomes—especially in sexual, reproductive, and mental health—by fostering trusted relationships and delivering culturally sensitive, trauma-informed care.

We are on a mission to reshape how women’s health services cater to those who are least likely to be heard. To achieve this, we’re looking for a passionate and experienced Head of Community Engagement and Communications to lead the way. This is your chance to play a pivotal role in creating the space for women, particularly refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants, to directly influence the healthcare services they need and deserve.

We are looking for someone who:

  • Is an experienced community engager with a deep understanding of working with diverse, marginalised communities of women.
  • Is passionate about creating safe spaces for underrepresented women to shape the services that affect them.
  • Thrives on collaboration and innovation and brings strong leadership experience.
  • Has a proven track record of developing strategies that bring about real, measurable change.

Why Join Sister Circle?

This is a unique opportunity to be transforming women’s healthcare in underserved communities. You will  be part of a small team, working closely with our Chief Executive, senior leaders, team, volunteers and beneficiaries to create real, lasting impact. As we tackle one of the most pressing challenges in women’s health today—improving equity and justice for ethnic minority and underserved communities.
