Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia beBeeCulturallySensitive Full time $100,000 - $108,000
Launch a Homelessness Support Program

We are launching a brand-new initiative to address homelessness in the Katherine region. This is the first time we have operated in this space – meaning you will be helping build it from the ground up. We value inclusion, local leadership, and purpose-driven individuals. Our team is unique and we’re proud of that.

The Opportunity
  • We have three new roles supporting Aboriginal families in remote communities to access safe accommodation, return to Country, and strengthen long-term housing outcomes.
  • As a Coordinator, you will lead overall program implementation and coordination, set up program framework, build partnerships, define eligibility, coordinate service delivery and support officers, and work in Katherine-based with some remote travel.
  • For the two Community Support Officers, you will provide direct client support in town and communities, case management, advocacy, referrals, short-term accommodation, transport & return-to-Country planning, engage with local services, accommodation providers, and stakeholders.
Key Responsibilities

Your first month could look like:

  1. Week 1–2: Orientation, learning the lay of the land, connecting with our team, and starting to build local relationships in Katherine.
  2. Week 3–4: Meeting with key stakeholders, setting up referral pathways, and beginning client intake and casework in Katherine.
  3. By end of month: Coordinated service delivery underway, with the Coordinator leading system setup and Support Officers handling client support, before expanding into community visits with partners.
Our Culture and Values
  • Believe in cultural safety and self-determination as everyday practice.
  • Can balance practical frontline support with a strategic, problem-solving mindset.
  • Know how to build trust quickly with clients, families, and partners.
  • Have the adaptability to work in both Katherine town and remote bush communities.
  • Value being part of a supportive, close-knit team where respect and humour go hand-in-hand.

The Coordinator role suits someone ready to build a program and lead from the front. The Support Officer roles are perfect for people who love rolling up their sleeves and walking alongside clients in town or out bush.
