The service will be operational in late November 2025, and we are looking for someone who is available to start early November.

Your Opportunity

As an Administration Officer based on-site, you will play a key role in providing efficient administrative and operational support to the clinical services team. You will thrive working in a fast-paced, purpose-driven environment where your attention to detail, initiative, and ability to juggle multiple priorities will directly contribute to the smooth running of the facility and the quality of care provided to residents.

This full-time role offers a salary of $76,000 - $81,000 plus Superannuation, depending on experience and qualifications. We also offer Salary Packaging options to increase your take home pay, a fitness Passport, and a huge range of discounted products via Perkbox.

• Highly organised, with the ability to manage financial and Centrelink-related tasks for both residential rehabilitation and detox services, including processing payments, refunds, and subsidies (familiarity with Helix software or similar systems is highly regarded)
• Skilled in delivering high-quality, confidential administrative support with discretion and accuracy
• Capable of identifying issues and negotiating practical, solution-focused outcomes
• Proficient in Microsoft Suite and familiar with CRM systems
• Reliable, with excellent time management and organisational skills to balance multiple priorities and manage your workload independently
• Empathetic and non-judgemental, with strong active listening skills to support residents on their recovery journey
• Effective communicator, able to engage with a diverse range of individuals including clients, colleagues, and external stakeholders
  Previous experience or a demonstrated interest in working with a non-profit organisation (desirable)

Qualifications in a relevant field would be highly regarded, but more importantly you will have passion, commitment, and a great attitude with a genuine alignment to the Lives Lived Well values. Our values are:

· We are humble, human, and full of hope

· We show up and share

· We ask: Why not? And what's next?
