  • Monitor simple operational budgets, petty cash and point-of-sale processes

About you

  • Experience coordinating volunteers in a community, cultural or not-for-profit setting preferred
  • Strong organisational skills with confidence in rostering, scheduling and on-the-day problem solving
  • Warm, professional communicator who can motivate diverse teams and handle sensitive situations with care
  • Comfortable working hands-on in a small team where no two days are the same
  • Sound judgement on WHS and child safety requirements for public programs and school groups
  • Competent with common office tools and basic booking or POS systems
  • Relevant checks such as Working with Vulnerable People, National Police Check, First Aid and an RSA are desirable or can be obtained upon appointment.
