  • Adaptability and problem-solving ability in a fast-paced environment
  • Excellent time management and organisational skills
  • Confidence to handle unexpected situations with professionalism
  • Commitment to social justice, inclusion, and diversity
  • Strong teamwork and computer literacy

What We Offer

  • The opportunity to build and shape YCM's Gold Coast operations from the ground up
  • A supportive and values-driven workplace
  • Career growth opportunities within a rapidly expanding organisation
  • Flexible working conditions, including some evenings and weekends as required
