Job Description

Build and lead KJ's first dedicated HR function in a complex, Martu-led organisation.
n A hands-on senior HR role with genuine organisational influence.

n

The opportunity

n

Kanyirninpa Jukurrpa (KJ) is looking for an experienced HR generalist who wants the opportunity to build something, not simply inherit it.

n

As our new Human Resources Manager, you will establish and lead KJ's internal HR function and become a trusted adviser to managers and senior leaders.

n

Your first mandate is transparent: strengthen the fundamentals.

n

That includes recruitment and onboarding, employee records, contracts, Award coverage and classifications, employment conditions, HR policies and systems, and practical support to managers on employee matters.

n

Then the opportunity gets bigger.

n

As those foundations strengthen, you will increasingly contribute to workforce planning, performance and development, manager capability, retention, workforce reporting and KJ's longer-term employment framework.

n

About KJ

n

KJ is a Martu organisation supporting Martu people to maintain culture, look after Country, strengthen communities and create opportunities for future generations.

n

We deliver cultural, environmental, family and social programs across remote Martu communities, the Martu determination and Newman.

n

Our workforce operates across office, community and field environments, which means good HR systems at KJ need to be both professionally robust and workable in the real world.

n

What you'll bring

n





You may already be an HR Manager or HR Business Partner, or an experienced Senior HR Adviser ready to take ownership of a function.

n

We are looking for:

n

sound knowledge of Australian employment legislation and Modern Awards;

n

experience with employee relations and performance matters;

n

confidence interpreting employment conditions, classifications and remuneration;

n

experience improving HR systems, policies and processes;

n

the ability to advise and coach managers; and

n

sound judgement and strong relationship-building skills.

n

Experience with the SCHADS Award, Aboriginal or community organisations, not-for-profits, remote services or geographically dispersed workforces would be highly regarded.

n

Why KJ?

n

This is a chance to build an HR function with genuine organisational reach.

n

You'll work directly with senior leaders and managers, see the impact of the systems you introduce and help shape how KJ employs and supports its workforce into the future.

n

KJ offers a salary of $120,000–$140,000 plus superannuation, generous salary packaging, RDOs, professional development support and accommodation for a Newman-based appointment.

n

Newman is preferred, although strong Perth-based applicants will be considered. Regular travel to Newman and remote Martu communities is required.
