• A heart for community and a friendly, professional approach to working with people
• Experience in general admin, customer service, and strong computer literacy
• Good attention to detail and experience with systems like Workday (ideal, but not essential)
• Confidence working independently, especially across multiple sites or remote locations
• An understanding of compliance in the not-for-profit or volunteer sector
• Current driver’s licence and ability to travel state-wide
• Required background checks (Police, Working with Children/Vulnerable People)
