Make a difference behind the scenes.

At YACWA, we believe young people should be at the heart of change — and we're looking for someone who can keep our organisation running like clockwork while we do it

We're seeking a Corporate Services Officer to join our passionate, values-driven team. You'll play a key role in supporting the finance, admin, and governance functions that keep YACWA strong - from managing accounts and payroll to supporting the CEO and Board.

If you love a mix of detail, problem-solving and teamwork - and want your skills to contribute to real social impact - this role is for you.

• Provide first-class administrative support to the management team and Board.
• Assist the Finance Manager and CEO with governance, reporting and audits.
• Coordinate bookings, meetings, travel and office logistics.
• Help maintain organised records, registers and communications.

What You'll Bring

• Bookkeeping or finance admin experience (Xero a must).
• Super-organised, detail-loving approach to work.
• Excellent communicator who takes ownership and pride in their work.
• Able to juggle multiple priorities and stay calm under pressure.
• A genuine interest in supporting young people and community impact.
• Minimum 2 years of bookkeeping or finance administration experience
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office suite, particularly Excel and Word
• Unrestricted right to work in Australia

Essential Criteria

• Proven experience in finance administration including accounts payable/receivable, reconciliations, and general ledger entries.
• Experience using Xero Accounting Software, including payroll processing and bank reconciliations.
• Strong administration and organisational skills, with attention to detail and accuracy.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines in a busy environment.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office (particularly Excel and Word) and general digital literacy.
• Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively in a small team environment.
• Commitment to YACWA's values, youth participation, inclusion, human rights and to safeguarding principles and practices.

Desirable Criteria

• Experience supporting executive or board-level administration (e.g., minute-taking, agenda preparation).
• Understanding of not-for-profit governance or community sector operations.
• Bookkeeping or finance-related qualification (e.g. Certificate IV or Diploma).

Additional Requirements

The successful candidate will be required to hold a current Working with Children Check (WWCC) and a National Police Check (NPC).

You don't need to have these to apply, but you must be willing to obtain them if selected for the role.

Why You'll Love Working Here

• Part-time - 4 days a week (0.8 FTE) and flexible working hours.
• A small, passionate team that values innovation, ideas and collaboration.
• Central Perth location close to transport and good coffee.
• Be part of something bigger — helping amplify the voices of young Western Australians.
