Who we are and why we're different


Katherine West Health Board (KWHB) is a community-led Aboriginal health service delivering integrated primary healthcare and wellbeing programs across more than 160,000 km² of remote NT — from the WA border to the edge of the Tanami desert.

As an Aboriginal community-controlled organisation, our focus is holistic care — supporting not just physical health, but social, cultural, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing.

We're currently reshaping and growing our Human Resources team to better serve our mission — and we want team members who are curious, proactive, and excited by change. You won't be stuck behind a desk; you'll be in a team that builds systems, supports staff, and brings calm to chaos in a fast-paced health environment.

Our HR culture is kind, hardworking, and collaborative — with plenty of laughs in between.

Support a team that supports everyone


This role supports all the moving parts that keep our workforce thriving — onboarding, compliance, coordination, and people-first problem solving. You'll be the go-to person for getting staff set up, keeping things running smoothly, and making sure the little things don't fall through the cracks.

You won't be doing it alone. You'll join a close-knit, supportive team that values clear communication, common sense, and a good laugh. We're in a rebuild phase — refreshing systems, improving templates, and rolling out changes after a recent HR audit. There's structure, but also space to help shape how things are done.

Whether you're an experienced admin looking for your next step or an early-career HR professional ready to grow, this is a great place to build your confidence, capability, and career.


How we'll set you up for success


We know great HR starts with great onboarding — so your first few weeks are designed to help you feel confident, connected, and clear on how things work.

In your first month, you'll:

* Join a structured online orientation to meet our organisation and people
* Complete cultural awareness videos and learn about our mission and model
* Visit key departments — Finance, Assets, IT, HR — to understand cross-functional workflows
* Learn day-to-day systems like timesheets, purchase orders, and compliance platforms
* Shadow team members and build confidence in the HR toolkit

As you settle in, you'll also have opportunities to travel with the team to remote communities. This is a fantastic way to see our work firsthand, understand local context, and connect with Aboriginal community members in the region.

You don't need remote experience or cultural expertise to start — just a respectful attitude, curiosity, and willingness to learn. The rest, we'll support you with.


Join a team that's rebuilding — together


This isn't a BAU admin role — it's a chance to help shape the future of HR at KWHB.

Our Human Resources team is small but evolving. Right now, we're rolling up our sleeves and rebuilding our foundations — refining how HR supports the wider organisation.

You'll be working alongside teammates who are all different in personality — but united by a strong work ethic and a shared sense of purpose. Everyone brings something unique to the table, and we value that.

Led by a supportive and forward-thinking HR Manager, the team is focused on creating a collaborative culture that's adaptable, respectful, and open to change.

If you're someone who loves creating order, enjoys improving systems, and can juggle admin with heart — you'll thrive here. We're not looking for someone stuck in "how things used to be." We want someone open, thoughtful, and eager to grow.

Your ideas will be heard. Your efforts will be seen. Your growth will be supported.


What you'll need


We're looking for someone who thrives on organisation, enjoys working with people, and brings a calm, practical approach to busy days.

You'll likely have:

* Strong admin or HR support experience
* Good attention to detail and a proactive attitude
* Confidence using Microsoft Office and managing digital records
* Cultural sensitivity and a respectful, team-first attitude
* A current NT Ochre Card, Driver's Licence and Police Check (or the ability to get them)

Bonus points for:

* HR qualifications or previous experience in onboarding, recruitment, or compliance
* Prior work in remote, community, or Aboriginal health settings
* Familiarity with Communicare, HR templates, or government HR processes
* A love of structure, a knack for admin, and a proactive spirit

You don't need to know it all — we'll train you. What matters is your work ethic, your values, and your willingness to be part of a growing team.


What You'll Get

* Starting from $80,000 + super, depending on experience and level
* Annual salary increases in line with Enterprise Agreement
* 6–8 weeks accommodation on arrival for relocators
* $2,000 annual PD allowance for training, courses, or study
* Opportunities to travel to remote communities with the team
* A pathway for internal growth into project roles or senior HR
* A people-first team that's kind, hardworking, and ready for change

If you're ready to grow your HR career while contributing to something bigger, apply now and bring your skills to a team that makes a difference every day.
