About AMSANT
The Aboriginal Medical Services Alliance Northern Territory (AMSANT) is the peak body for Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services (ACCHSs) in the Northern Territory. Based in Darwin, AMSANT advocates for Aboriginal health equity and supports the delivery of high-quality, culturally appropriate primary health care services across remote and urban communities. With over two decades of experience, AMSANT plays a vital leadership role in policy development, capacity building, workforce support, and sector coordination. We work closely with our member services, governments, and other stakeholders to influence health reform and improve the health and well-being of Aboriginal people in the NT.
AMSANT is seeking a full-time Human Resources Manager to join the team in Darwin, NT. Reporting to the Deputy Chief Executive Officer, the HR Manager will lead AMSANT's HR operations and strategy, ensuring compliance, engagement, and alignment with organisational values and strategic goals.
More specifically, your responsibilities include but are not limited to:

* Supporting AMSANT's cultural framework and fostering a safe, inclusive workplace
* Advising managers on employee relations, performance, EBA interpretation and risk mitigation
* Coordinating recruitment, onboarding, workforce planning and succession planning
* Overseeing employee data, HR systems, and recordkeeping
* Ensuring AMSANT's compliance with Fair Work, WHS, industrial relations, and insurance matters
* Managing industrial relation matters, workplace issues, and complex HR cases
* Providing training, coaching, and support to managers and staff across departments
To be successful, you'll need at least 4 years of generalist HR experience and strong knowledge of HR practices, employment legislation, and employee relations.
You will bring:

* In-depth knowledge of the Fair Work Act, WHS legislation, and enterprise agreements
* Experience managing workplace compensation cases and risk-related HR issues
AMSANT is seeking more than just a technically skilled HR professional — we're looking for a people-first leader who embraces change and champions culture. As the organsiation is growing through change, you'll play a pivotal role in guiding teams with empathy, clarity, and confidence. You'll be approachable and proactive, and bring a steady hand to support managers through growth, performance, and transformation.
The ideal candidate will:
* Be confident and diplomatic when navigating complex workplace issues
* Proactively manage risk and support safe, fair work environments
* Coordinate HR strategy rather than simply executing tasks
* Be culturally aware and uphold AMSANT's values in times of organisational change
This is a strategic, high-trust leadership role where your coordination, clarity, and cultural sensitivity will shape how AMSANT supports its people and grows sustainably.
You will also hold a current Ochre Card and National Police Check, or be willing to obtain one.
