- preparation of related documents such as service agreements and quotations; Participant rosters, rosters of care, schedules of supports, staff work plans, and much more.

**About You**

You’re a people-person, enjoy working collaboratively with colleagues and ideally have either worked in the disability sector or have lived experience/understanding.

You will have demonstrated experience in an administration role. It would also be great if you had previous experience in a similar complex scheduling or rostering position, however this isn’t essential.

Ideally you will bring experience in:

- data input and administration with a high degree of accuracy and attention to detail
- preparing complex documents, plans or reports
- intermediate MS Office skills and the ability to quickly learn a variety of technology-based solutions (if you have used MYP-PocketWatch, that would be great)

DHS and NDIS clearances are essential so if you don't have these already, you must be able to be cleared for them. Other clearances may also be required to be completed or updated from time to time.
