- Have a minimum of three years' experience in volunteer management, human resources, community services coordination or a similar people-focused coordination role
- Be seeking a long-term career opportunity
- Be highly organised with exceptional attention to detail

- A current driver's license and access to a comprehensively insured vehicle
- Willingness to complete and maintain a National Police Check
- The ability to travel regularly throughout the ACT region
Experience in aged care, volunteer management or community services will be highly regarded.
