**Your Impact**
As the Reception and Administration Officer you will deliver high quality professional reception and customer service to all internal and external stakeholders.

Reception is a very important point of contact for refugee background survivor clients, their families and communities. Your role makes a vital contribution to ensuring the delivery of a trauma informed, supportive and professional service to all clients and service participants. You will be responsible for providing a psychologically safe and supportive welcome, as well as providing any assistance they may need to productively engage with the organisation.

- Taking on coordination of the Foundation House motor vehicle fleet.
- Administrative support for the Refugee Mental Health Clinic, including managing appointments, booking rooms, processing Medicare claims.
- Assisting staff with other requirements, such as room bookings and set-up, catering, stationary, supplies, etc.

**What You’ll Need**
To be successful, you will need to positively respond to the following key selection criteria:

- Previous experience working on a busy reception desk (within a health, not-for-profit or community setting is advantageous but not essential).
- Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, written, in person and on the phone.
- Strong administrative skills and technical proficiency with programs such as MS Office 365 (Word, Excel, Outlook).
- Understanding and compliance with privacy and confidentiality due to the sensitive nature of the organisation’s work.

- Excellent time management skills with the ability to prioritise own work and to multi-task.

**In Return**
You will be rewarded with:

- An attractive annual remuneration package of $81,905 plus superannuation
- 17.5% Annual Leave loading
- Salary packaging benefits of up to $18,550
- Novated car leasing options
- A role with true purpose to make a difference in people's lives
- A welcoming, highly diverse and supportive team environment
- Generous leave provisions with option to purchase additional leave
