About Us:

At MacDonnell Regional Council (MRC), we're proud to call the heart of Australia our home. Spanning a breathtaking 270,000 square kilometres, our region is a land of contrast and beauty—think serene waterholes, vibrant desert sands, rugged mountain ranges, and an abundance of unique flora and fauna.

Our workforce reflects the rich cultural diversity of our region, with 80% of our team being Aboriginal. We honour and respect the traditions and perspectives of our community, so understanding Aboriginal culture—or a willingness to learn—is essential.

Who We're Looking For:

Are you an experienced Team Leader who thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic environment? Do you love being the go-to person for your team, helping to drive results and foster a collaborative culture? If so, we'd love to hear from you.

To succeed in this role, you'll need:

• Supervise and manage Youth Services employees according to MRC policies and procedures.
• Implementation of Youth Services in a designated community according to funding requirements, MRC Regional Plan and Youth Services Standards, including the design, delivery and evaluation of programs
• Support the development of Youth Services staff through regular supervision, line management, training and mentoring. Contribute towards building the capacity of local Indigenous staff to create pathways for individual progression.
• Have an understanding of trauma-informed and strengths-based practices.
• Most importantly, we're looking for someone who is adaptable, collaborative, and passionate about making a difference.
