The MacDonnell region is located in the centre of Australia. Covering 270,000sq km and with an estimated population approaching 7,000, it has a unique beauty with picturesque water holes, magnificent flora and fauna, red desert sands and rugged mountain ranges.
This position will be based in Areyonga known locally as Utju and is nestled in a spectacular valley in the western end of the MacDonnell Ranges, about 240km west of Alice Springs. Its population of 235 residents predominantly speak Pitjantjatjara, having originally come from the Petermann Ranges in the 1920s when Anangu were forced to leave the Docker River area during a long running drought. For this reason, Areyonga is in the Iyarrka Ward of the MacDonnell Regional Council despite its immediate proximity to Western Arrernte communities.
As the Council Services Coordinator, you will be responsible for overseeing municipal and commercial operations, including the management of key personnel working in a remote Service Centre. You will also coordinate operational service delivery and supervise Service Centre Delivery staff in the performance of their duties.
The successful candidate will ideally have experience in a similar role including supervising, mentoring and training staff and have the ability to lead, motivate and mentor team members to foster independence and to increase local ownership of services provided. The ideal candidate will also have high level communication skills to build and maintain relationships with a diverse range of stakeholders including participating in mediation, negotiations and conflict resolutions.
MacDonnell Regional Council, Service Centre Delivery recognise and respect the region's unique Aboriginal culture and 78% of our workforce are Aboriginal, therefore an understanding and awareness of cultural impacts and sensitivities is essential.
This is a unique opportunity to have a genuine influence in helping Council improve the lives of our residents and communities, while also further developing your own skills base and career pathways.
