Build a Sustainable Workforce Strategy in One of Australia's Most Unique Regions

Roper Gulf Regional Council covers over 200,000 square kilometres in the Northern Territory, encompassing some of the most culturally rich and geographically diverse communities in Australia. With its administrative base in Katherine and communities stretching from Mataranka to the Gulf of Carpentaria, the Council serves a region marked by its deep Indigenous heritage, vibrant local identity and environmental significance. Living and working here means being part of something bigger - contributing directly to the sustainability and wellbeing of remote Northern Territory communities.

The Position
We need a Human Resources Manager who will guide the strategic direction of the workforce. This is a senior leadership role, reporting to the General Manager Corporate Services & Sustainability, responsible for delivering people strategy, performance management, staff engagement, workforce planning and industrial relations.

You will be the first point of contact on all HR matters across the Council and will lead a small team to deliver long-term outcomes for a diverse and dispersed workforce. The Council is focused on building local capacity and increasing Indigenous participation, and this role will be central to that effort.

About You:
You are a true HR professional who brings sound generalist experience and a genuine drive for workforce development. You work independently, take initiative, and use your judgement confidently. You don't need to have worked in local government – what matters is your commitment to good practice and your ability to build trust and deliver results.

You're aligned with the Council's executive values of honesty, equality, accountability, respect and trust, and you'll bring these into your day-to-day leadership. You're empathetic, approachable and attuned to the needs, aspirations and culture of our workforce. You'll work closely with senior leaders and staff across the organisation, providing practical advice, supporting change, and contributing to a collaborative, values-led management team.

What's on offer?

  • 3-year contract with strong scope for impact
  • Opportunity to live and work in the Katherine region
  • Vehicle and housing support options
  • Work with remote communities on meaningful, place-based workforce development
