We are all about showing up where it matters — on worksites, in communities, and alongside the people and industries we’re in it with.
We are building one of the most innovative social purpose counselling services in the country and are looking for an experienced National Engagement Lead to join the team.
TIACS is Australia’s home of blue-collar counselling, providing free, confidential and accessible professional support to tradies, truckies, farmers, apprentices, blue-collar workers and the people who care about them.
No waitlists. No referrals. No cost.
This role is about making sure the people who need that support know TIACS exists, trust the service, and know how to access it.
TIACS - The Home of Blue Collar Counselling By Industry for Industry
The role
This is not a desk-based role.
Based in Brisbane, you’ll work nationally across worksites, industry events and community initiatives, building trusted relationships with workers, employers, industry groups and decision-makers.
You’ll lead TIACS’ engagement activity across priority industries and regions, while connecting on-the-ground insights with the broader partnerships strategy to identify opportunities and create longer-term impact.
The role includes regular interstate and regional travel, early starts, evening events and occasional weekend work.
If you enjoy being out with people and building relationships face-to-face, this could be a great fit.
What you’ll be doing
- Building trusted relationships with workers, employers, supervisors and industry leaders
- Representing TIACS across worksites, industry events and community activities
- Delivering practical, relatable engagement that makes mental health support easier to understand and access
- Building repeat engagement across priority industries and regions
- Identifying partnership, alliance and fundraising opportunities from conversations in the field
- Working closely with the Head of Partnerships & Impact to progress opportunities
- Coordinating national engagement activity, bookings and travel
- Capturing engagement activity, contacts and insights in HubSpot
- Sharing on-the-ground themes, barriers and opportunities with the wider TIACS team
- Supporting and guiding the Industry & Community Engagement Officer where required
You do not need to be a counsellor. This is a non-clinical role.
We’re looking for someone grounded, credible and genuinely good with people.
You might come from a community engagement, partnerships, fundraising or field-based background.
More importantly, you’ll be someone who can walk onto a worksite and connect naturally with the crew, then sit down with senior leaders and hold your own.
You’ll need to be able to:
- Build trust without relying on a polished sales pitch
- Communicate naturally with different audiences
- Handle sensitive conversations with good judgement and clear boundaries
- Work independently and stay organised across a national travel schedule
- Follow through on conversations and relationships h
- Represent TIACS in a way that is authentic, approachable and down to earth
