We’re on the hunt for a sharp, proactive Senior Administrator who thrives in fast-moving environments and loves being the person who makes things happen.
If you’re someone who spots what needs attention early, jumps in without fuss, and quietly keeps the wheels turning… you’ll feel right at home here.
You’ll work closely with our COO, lead a small (and genuinely awesome) reception team of two, and play a central role in keeping the organisation coordinated, responsive, and running smoothly day to day. This is a hands-on role with real visibility and impact — perfect for a strong administrator ready to step up and grow into executive-level support.
You’re approachable, down-to-earth, and bring a positive, solutions-focused style. You build rapport quickly, read situations well, and stay calm and professional when things get busy.
Our workplace is a little different, too. We’re co-located alongside our transitional housing, social housing, and aged care services, so the impact of your work is visible every day. It’s not a quiet corporate office — it’s dynamic, human, and deeply connected to the community we support.
A day on the job will see you:
* Providing high-level administration support to our COO, including diary management, meetings and communications, so priorities stay on track and decisions happen faster.
* Coordinating committee logistics, preparing materials, taking minutes, and stepping in to support executive meetings only when needed.
* Overseeing our small reception team, ensuring a welcoming experience and smooth daily operations. This includes providing lunch coverage.
* Overseeing shared spaces, meeting rooms and staff facilities so everything runs as it should
* Jumping in where needed and supporting the COO with projects and initiatives that keep our organisation moving forward.
Your application will go to the top of our shortlist you have:
* Solid experience in a Senior Administrator or senior business support role
* Tech-savvy, with strong skills in Microsoft Word and Excel
* Highly organised, able to keep multiple moving parts running smoothly
* Confidence to lead a small team and influence outcomes
* A people-first approach and the ability to build trust quickly
* Steady, professional judgement in fast-paced environments
* Business Administration qualifications (nice to have, not essential)
What’s in it for you?
* Pay: Competitive salary, plus NFP salary packaging giving you the potential to gain $15,900 in tax benefits
* Leave: 23 days annual leave, that’s 3 days more than the standard 4 weeks
* Perks: Lots of social activities, expand your experience by joining a consultation committee, and see the impact of our mission every day!
* Hours: 38 hours per week, Monday to Friday.
* Career development: Training, accessible leaders, growth and advancement opportunities
* Culture: Exceptional workplace culture – we work hard and have fun while we do it
