ABOUT YOU

Maybe work life balance means more to you than winning the race to the top of the corporate career ladder.

You like the idea of working for a good cause, of doing important work, where you can make a real difference rather than simply growing someone else’s bottom line.

You’d like a flexible, supportive opportunity in a warm, inclusive multi-cultural environment, that’s friendly to your family or study commitments.

You’d welcome the opportunity to work with the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community and you’re confident you’ll be able to absorb and blend in with the culture.

You’ll also be comfortable with the idea of working autonomously; in taking on some serious responsibility for an organisation that will be relying on your diligence and commitment.

If all that sounds like you, please do apply straight away. We’d love to hear from you!
