As the Program Co-ordinator, you will provide essential administrative and coordination support across YouthAdvance's programs. You'll work closely with the Programs Manager, Guides, Duke of Ed Leaders, schools, parents and participants to coordinate programs from initial scheduling through to delivery.
No two days will be exactly the same. One day you might be confirming dates and participant numbers, the next preparing program documentation, updating an event page, responding to a parent enquiry or organising vehicle maintenance. You'll need to be someone who can keep track of lots of moving parts, communicate clearly and follow things through.
