NATSIHA's purpose is to facilitate access to quality, accessible, affordable, and culturally appropriate housing to help empower Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander individuals, families, and communities to optimise their health and wellbeing and improve their employment opportunities, access to education, connection to community and sense of home.

The Role:

The Project Officer is a key member of the NATSIHA team, responsible for leading and coordinating various housing projects and initiatives.

You will work collaboratively with both internal and external stakeholders to ensure the effective project development, implementation and evaluation of projects whilst respecting and promoting the cultural values and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

• A demonstrated knowledge and understanding of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community Housing Sector and the related challenges community housing providers face with their ‘day to day’ functions and performance of their role and responsibilities,
• Bachelor degree in relevant field or equivalent work experience
• Experience in project management, preferably in housing or community development
• Strong interpersonal skills and ability to engage with diverse stakeholders,
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal

This is a unique opportunity to join the national peak body organisation at the start of the journey, as they work to grow and strengthen the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander housing sector. NATSIHA will lead the way in implementing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Housing Data Strategy that is underpinned by the principles of Indigenous Data Sovereignty and will support capability building across the sector to harness data as a cultural, strategic and economic asset.

We strongly encourage applications from First Nation's Peoples. NATSIHA is aiming for a 70% Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander workforce.
