Summary

Join a team helping people experiencing individual and structural disadvantage who want to operate their own small businesses to sustain lifelong change for themselves, their families and communities.  Many Rivers is a focused, vibrant and innovative not-for-profit enterprise development organisation, with a special focus on supporting Indigenous Australians. Our dedicated staff apply their business know-how and experiences to guide individuals and communities to start, stay and thrive in business.

About Us

Many Rivers commenced operations in April 2008.  Our National Office is in Sydney and our team live and work in remote, regional and urban locations across Australia. We are expanding our national footprint.

When people impacted by disadvantage are not able to participate in the real economy they remain disadvantaged and unable to move forward.  In many of the regions where we are located there are limited job opportunities.  Therefore, to create change and economic opportunities for all Australians who want the chance to overcome multiple economic and social challenges, we need to support enterprise creation and provide connection for small businesses across Australia to the mainstream economies. 

Our team comes with a broad range of business, corporate, social services, and community development experiences. We offer:

  • The opportunity to genuinely help people change their lives through small business and employment
  • A rigorous, focused and supported working environment
  • A strong outcomes and learning culture
  • The ability to work autonomously within established position and organisational requirements, and as part of a regional and national team.
  • The opportunity to travel and experience the diversity of people and places in the position’s region

Who We Are Looking For?

We are recruiting a Community Economic Development Manager (CED Manager) to be based in Darwin, NT. CED Managers work within their region with Indigenous communities that want to establish economic activity on their land and will be supported by the Head of Community Economic Development.

Many Rivers has a tested and innovative Community Economic Development (CED) methodology working successfully with Indigenous communities that will guide the support provided by CED Managers.

Our CED Managers have experience working with Indigenous communities, understand business, corporate governance and strategic/business planning.  We are looking for diligent self-starters who are relational and commercially savvy, who are energised by the challenges and opportunities to support communities to achieve real and tangible enterprise and employment outcomes.

If you have an interest in social justice, working alongside individuals, families and communities that are working hard to build a better future, spending time with people, building working and trusted relationships and want the opportunity to live and work in regional or remote Australia, this opportunity could be for you.
