Our workforce reflects the rich cultural diversity of our region. We honour and respect the traditions and perspectives of our community, so understanding Aboriginal culture-or a willingness to learn-is essential.

• At least 6 months' experience in a supervisory position in human services or hospitality.
• Demonstrated ability to work in a culturally and linguistically diverse environment.
• Most importantly, we're looking for someone who is adaptable, collaborative, and passionate about making a difference.
