KJ is an innovative and award-winning Martu organisation that operates a variety of land management, cultural and social programs based out of Newman in Western Australia.
We are guided by Martu elders, who are some of the last Pujiman (desert-born people) in Australia with deep cultural and ecological knowledge. Martu are the traditional owners of a large tract of country spanning across three deserts and home to wild populations of some of Australia’s iconic fauna species.
At KJ, we value individuals who are determined to make a difference, willing to work hard, enjoy working within a team and want to work in partnership with Martu as they realise their aspirations to look after Country, culture, families and communities.
We are looking for a Cultural Field Officer to join our team. This is an exciting opportunity to work closely with an Indigenous community on a variety of cultural projects that the community aspires to.
As the Cultural Field Officer, you will work in the KJ’s Cultural Programs to assist Martu to achieve their aspiration of getting back on country, reconnect with their traditional culture, and pass on knowledge and culture to younger generations. Your work will include:
This is a physically demanding role and not for the faint-hearted. It will require loading and unloading gear for extended trips on country, changing tyres, short hikes and weather extremes.
We want to make sure that you will be up for the demands of the job so you will be required to undergo a medical examination before employment.
A unique opportunity to work in a cross-cultural environment with Martu people on Country.
In addition to a competitive salary, we will cover the costs of your housing and utilities, provide you with tax-free salary packaging benefits, generous annual leave, flight benefits to Perth and access to professional development and in-house training.
