Based in Darwin, oversee the operations and success of the RAES program & support team members to deliver the program on-the-ground in community.
ALPA’s Community Services department is at the forefront of delivering transformative programs that strengthen First Nations communities and empower individuals. We work across a range of development initiatives that mitigate barriers to employment, foster community engagement, and promote long-term wellbeing of individuals in remote First Nations Communities.
Understanding the program
This role sits within the Remote Australia Employment Service (RAES) program, a federally funded initiative delivered by ALPA in communities across Arnhem Land. You might have heard of the Work for the Dole or the Community Development Program (CDP). RAES is similar in purpose but introduces a more flexible, strengths-based approach to remote employment. It supports job seekers through skills development, mentoring, and tailored employment pathways, with a large focus on community-led priorities.
