THE TOWN

Port Hedland is a dynamic, diverse town in Western Australia's beautiful Northwest that enjoys a relaxed lifestyle. We are proud of our stunning landscapes, Aboriginal heritage, vibrant multicultural community, and our significant resources industry. The lifestyle is relaxed and its location on the ocean provides for a variety of leisure activities – soon to be enhanced by the Spoilbank Marina development. The original inhabitants, the Kariyarra people, call the place Marapikurrinya for the hand shaped formation of the tidal creeks coming off the natural harbour. The Town has two main residential centres, Port and South Hedland, which offer a range of community facilities and services including cultural hubs, recreation, and shopping. Importantly, it has numerous cafes providing quality coffee to rival any capital city in Australia.

OUR MISSION

To guide the growth and development of the Hedland community, economy, and environment through the provision of strong civic leadership, provision of high-quality services and facilitation of active community participation.

THE ROLE

Reporting directly to the CEO, and as a key member of the executive leadership team, you will play a pivotal role in the evolution of this fast-paced Council with a range of portfolios assigned to you including:

  • Youth & Community Development
  • Community Safety
  • Recreation & Leisure Facilities
  • Events, Arts & Culture
  • Libraries

A local government background is ideal, however demonstrable relevant experience from other sectors and/or other complex organisations may be suitable.

Lead and foster a culture of communication, innovation, and transparency throughout the organisation consistent with the Town of Port Hedland's values of Unity, Quality and Integrity.

Cultivate productive and effective working relationships at all levels internally and externally, facilitating cooperation, trust and respect utilising and modelling high levels of emotional intelligence.

REQUIREMENTS

Your skills and background within community development will be complemented by your experience in leading teams, prioritising competing projects and preparing sound reports for Executive and key stakeholders. Experience within a similar role, particularly in local government is highly desirable.

THE PACKAGE

A competitive total reward package in the region of $310,000 will be offered to the successful candidate, negotiable depending on experience. This will include a base salary from $210,000 depending on skills and experience, plus 13% superannuation, a brand-new Town provided executive house with pool close to the ocean, a fully expensed vehicle (4WD), generous utility allowance, and six weeks of annual leave including access to the Town's wellness program (free gym membership, access to classes and pools). Relocation assistance of up to $15,000.

You will be joining the team at an exciting time as the Town embarks on a significant program of change, embracing a wide range of new technologies, while delivering a large capital works program that make the Town a desirable place to live and work.
