**About us**:
Playgroup Australia is a national body that represents and supports the outstanding work carried out on the ground by State and Territory Playgroup organisations across the country.

**About the job**:
Key responsibilities include:

- Support the operational and governance work of Playgroup Australia.
- Monitor reporting requirements for Playgroup Australia’s contracts with funding bodies.
- Manage relationships with service providers, including for accounting, human resources and IT services.

You’re a highly organised person who thrives in an environment with lots of challenge, variety and reward. You ideally have a relevant post-school qualification and at least five years’ experience in similar administrative roles, as well as a strong capacity and experience in day-to-day contract management in a small organisation. Experience working or volunteering in a not-for-profit organisation will be highly regarded.

You’ll need to have a practical, flexible approach to work, and exceptional interpersonal and communication skills, combined with strong time management skills and the ability to hold yourself to account.

You also have well-developed IT skills (Microsoft Office suite), and experience in taking minutes for Boards / Committees or similar.

We offer a flexible, family-friendly environment. The job will be work-from-home, with occasional face-to-face planning sessions and Canberra-based Board meetings. Hours are flexible (to around 25 per week), across several days of the week. Additionally, we offer a competitive salary, around the $90K fulltime equivalent rate per year (plus super).
