Wed Jun 24 23:36:52 UTC 2026

Dear all,

Mirima Language Centre is a vibrant language revitalisation hub governed by
the Miriwoong people and is located in Kununurra, East Kimberley region
(WA).

The Miriwoong language is critically endangered and the community depends on
the support of motivated and committed experts from the field of linguistics
and Indigenous education. We are a friendly and dynamic, multicultural team
working together to revitalise Miriwoong.

At the moment, we offer job opportunities for three full-time positions,
entailing different kinds of skill sets and experience. 

1. Coordinator - Miriwoong Language Program (Language Education
Facilitator): The successful candidate manages the delivery of the upper
primary division (Yr 3-6) of our Miriwoong Language Program. He/she leads a
team of Miriwoong educators and supports the delivery of the Miriwoong
language education program in conjunction with the coordinator of the lower
primary division (Kindy-Yr 2). This is a role for someone with excellent
people skills and a background in languages and/or education.

2. Project Linguist - Advanced Miriwoong Learners' Grammar: The successful
candidate will develop and complete a comprehensive learners' guide for the
Miriwoong language, based on existing resources and in close collaboration
with our team. This role requires a strong background in linguistic
description, as well as the ability to render complex grammatical concepts
in simple terms.

3. Project Officer - Language Immersion Program (Early Years): The
successful candidate will continue with the implementation of a pilot
project started in 2024 as part of our Miriwoong language revitalisation
program. The Project Officer leads a team of Miriwoong educators in
developing the Miriwoong Language Capacity Development (MLCD) project, which
runs immersion-based language sessions for young children at local early
learning centres. This position is suited for someone with a background in
the space of early learning and a compassion for working with Indigenous
educators.

We would like to fill all vacancies as soon as possible and welcome
expressions of interest for any of these. Upon receiving your EoI, we will
send you a detailed job description including the selection criteria.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander candidates are encouraged to apply.
Please let us know what role you are interested in and request an
