Aboriginal Hostels Limited

Aboriginal Hostels Limited’s (AHL) vision is to improve the quality of life and opportunities for First Nations People through their national network of hostels.

AHL hostels are like a home away from home for people needing to travel for access to services or for work and education opportunities. They provide comfortable, culturally safe and affordable accommodation, three meals a day and a welcoming environment for those who stay.

The Opportunity

AHL is looking for a passionate and experienced accommodation manager to join their team at Nhulunbuy Hostel.

Working closely with the local community, you will support First Nations People staying in hostels and ensure residents can connect with all services they require during their stay.

AHL is proud to be one of the largest employers of First Nations People in the Australian Public Service (APS) with First Nations employees making up approximately 50% of their workforce.

The Role

AHL Assistant Hostel Managers are responsible for the day-to-day running of their hostels alongside Hostel Managers.

This is a hands-on role and will see you working closely with the team to provide a safe, clean and welcoming environment.

The Ideal Person

Great Assistant Hostel Managers come from a wide range of professional backgrounds.

While experience in a similar industry such as hospitality management, community health or social and cultural services is important, a really successful Assistant Hostel Manager must have empathy and resilience with a calm but firm demeanour.

People with a strong understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, and issues affecting First Nations people are well suited to this opportunity and First Nations people are encouraged to apply.

Salary and Benefits

This role is offered on an ongoing, full-time basis.

• Assistant Hostel Manager: $75,022 - $81,775 + 15.4% Super
• Additional allowance of $5,044 pa without dependants or $8,559 with one or more eligible dependants
