Receptionist/Corporate Services Officer

ABOUT YWAHS

Yoowinna Wurnalung Aboriginal Healing Service (YWAHS) is a Specialist Aboriginal Family Violence Service, which is an independent Not for Profit (NFP) organisation, who delivers services to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples living within the catchments of Wellington and East Gippsland Local Government Area's.

We provide culturally safe and holistic services including counselling, clinical and therapeutic support and referral pathways. We develop, implement, and deliver family violence education and prevention programs and provide advocacy and post intervention support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients and their families.

We support the recovery and healing of Aboriginal victims, individuals, families, and communities affected by family violence, and provide support to perpetrators of family violence, linking them into programs and services to address their behaviour and to help them build tools around respectful and healthy relationships with their partners, children, and extended family.

Our focus is on providing Aboriginal led solutions, which are 'trauma informed,' culturally safe, within holistic models of health and wellbeing.

This is an exciting training and development opportunity for someone motivated to grow into a broader Personal Assistant (PA) and executive support capacity. T

The role begins with reception and corporate services duties and, over time, provides progressive opportunities to build skills in executive and finance support.

Comprehensive training and mentoring will be provided to build confidence and capability. The role is designed as a pathway, making it suitable for candidates with limited prior experience who demonstrate enthusiasm, reliability, and a strong willingness to learn, as well as for those with existing PA experience. As confidence grows, the position may expand to include supporting meeting coordination, note-taking, database updates, and preparing simple reports. Training will ensure these responsibilities are introduced gradually and with support.

Flexibility to work across YWAHS sites will also be encouraged as part of this growth pathway.
