Work with KJ
Work that matters. Working alongside Martu.
KJ brings Martu and non-Martu together to support Martu priorities across culture, Country, families, social change and the organisation that makes this work possible.
Working at KJ can mean time on Country, working in remote communities, supporting Martu-led programs or bringing specialist skills to the teams and systems behind the work.
Whatever the role, working at KJ requires respect for Martu authority, strong relationships and a willingness to listen, learn and adapt.

What it’s like to work at KJ
Working differently
KJ is not a standard workplace.
Our work is grounded in Martu priorities, cultural authority, relationships and practical action. Plans can change. Remote work can be demanding. Building trust takes time.
People working at KJ need to be able to listen, adapt and work respectfully across different cultural and professional contexts.
People tend to work well at KJ when they:
listen before assuming and respect Martu authority and knowledge;
build relationships patiently and follow through on commitments;
remain calm and practical when plans change;
bring sound judgement, initiative and professional capability; and
are comfortable learning and working across cultures, locations and different ways of doing things.
You do not need to already know everything about Martu or the Western Desert. You do need to arrive ready to learn.
In return, KJ offers the opportunity to contribute to work with real purpose, build relationships over time and learn from Martu, colleagues and Country.
