Regional Anangu Services Aboriginal Corporation (RASAC) is the largest employer on the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands. It is a proud Aboriginal owned and governed organisation, which is committed to empowering Anangu communities through delivery of quality remote services and sustainable employment.

RASAC employs over 140 staff across its operations, service delivery, administration and management. The corporate head office located in Alice Springs, supports all APY Lands based services, including HR, training, WHS, recruitment, finance, payroll and governance.

With an enviable history of staff retention and a culture of flexibility and support, this senior management role is a result of careful succession planning for a transition in structure in 2026.

We are seeking a dynamic and culturally aware Manager to lead workforce and program development functions with heart, strategy, and vision. This is more than just a management role — it's an opportunity to make a meaningful impact in remote Aboriginal communities.

Reporting to the General Manager and supported by a small, committed team, key responsibilities include:

  • Develop and implement innovative and culturally appropriate workforce development strategies supported by collaboration with TAFE SA
  • Support program development across the organisation and its operations
  • Lead HR & WHS strategy aligned with RASAC's values and community goals
  • Oversee recruitment, onboarding, and retention of a diverse workforce
  • Ensure compliance with employment legislation and workplace safety
  • Provide guidance on employee relations, performance, and wellbeing
  • Foster a culturally safe and inclusive work environment.

Proven experience in HR leadership and safety compliance, ideally in remote or Indigenous contexts, a solid understanding of relevant legislation law and best practices, and exceptional communication and interpersonal skills across a diverse blue and white collar workforce will be essential.

A commitment to cultural respect and community empowerment will be critical to success, and qualifications in Human Resources or related field are desirable.

Regular travel will be required to remote communities in the APY Lands requiring driving a 4WD on unsealed roads.

An attractive remuneration package will be negotiated including 6 weeks leave, generous tax free and salary sacrificing benefits, and relocation assistance.

Please apply online via the Seek advertisement quoting reference RASAC190925 or before 12 midnight 12 October 2025. Applications should include a detailed cv and cover letter addressing the role and key criteria.

Enquiries are most welcome and /or to obtain a Candidate Information Pack please phone, text or email Heather Oliver at LG Talent in confidence on or
