Your skills and experience

We’re looking for a proactive and organised individual with experience in project coordination, administration, or business support roles – ideally within early childhood, education, or human services. The ideal candidate will be adaptable, detail-oriented, and confident working across multiple priorities in a dynamic environment. Strong written communication skills, a collaborative approach, and a genuine commitment to values-led work are essential. Experience developing resources, supporting data reporting, or contributing to tender or grant processes will be highly regarded.
