We are looking for a fabulous Graduate & Induction Program Coordinator to join our friendly people team, due to exciting business growth. This is an excellent opportunity for someone early in their Learning or HR career who is looking to develop a learning specialisation in a supportive team environment. You will work in a team of five and will report to our L&D Delivery Lead to roll out inductions, webinars and other learning opportunities smoothly and efficiently.
The role is responsible for:
- Coordination of the end-to-end logistics and set up of learning sessions and programs in Australia including induction and our savvy sessions (aka webinar learning events)
- Identifying facilitators for local delivery of programs and ensure they are set-up for success
- Partnering with the business to improve our key learning programs and create new ones
- Building online/digital learning pathways and blended learning opportunities on our best-in-class learning system, Learn Amp.
- Administering project and other feedback cycles using our top-notch performance feedback system, Lattice (yes, we have great systems to work with, who doesn’t love that!).
- Managing participant lists for Nous learning programs and events

- Possess excellent organisational skills and have good attention to detail
- Able to forward plan and have strong time management skills
- Enjoy working with good humour in a supportive yet fast-paced team environment
And the practical experience:
- Tertiary qualification in HR, Learning or a related field

Reviews
My daily responsibilities at Nous Group encompass researching industry trends, composing analytical reports, facilitating workshops, and collaborating closely with clients and colleagues to devise effective solutions. I continuously engage in critical thinking and creative problem-solving to address complex client challenges. My focus remains on delivering clear, data-driven insights and actionable strategies to drive organisational performance and outcomes.
As a graduate consultant I am supporting with research and analysis, as well as creating reports, slide decks etc.
They can be quite varied. I have done a lot of data analytics work at Nous, so my day could easily include modelling in R. A lot of other tasks that Nousers typically do is desktop research, where you will research a topic and collate the information into a coherent narrative.

Pros and cons of working at Nous Group
Pros
The workplace culture is warm and welcoming. They cultivate an environment that encourages knowledge sharing and high (but supported) performance.
The work we get to do is intellectually stimulating, meaningful, and impactful.
There is a (fairly) flat organisational structure, and you have a lot of opportunities to interact with principals - within projects, the team structure is well-balanced with senior and junior consultants and project directors are very hands-on.
They are invested in my personal development as a consultant and regularly provide feedback (positive and constructive) to help me grow.
Nous Group has delivered over $7 million in subsidised consulting through our Community Partnerships Scheme; our Stretch Reconciliation Action Plan directs our collective efforts towards enhancing the self-determination and future of First Nations Australians; Operationally, they uphold sustainability through eco-conscious travel and procurement practices, waste reduction, emissions targets, and compensating for residual emissions.
Cons
The workload changes: sometimes it's really busy, and sometimes very quiet, but that's part of the job!
My company is flexible. Sometimes there are longer days (until 7 pm for example) but the self-managed approach means it's up to each employee how they use their work hours (within reason of course).
The starting salary and super for a graduate is about standard compared to other companies. Depending on company performance and the specific contract you signed, you can receive a bonus at the end of the financial year.
The training was good but was predominantly online and I think would have benefitted greatly from being in person. In terms of on-the-job training, it's fantastic. Our intranet and IP are great and there is so much to learn.
The hardest part of working at Nous is the hours - they aren't too bad, but sometimes you will have to flex up on some nights to complete a deadline.
