Save the Children is no ordinary not-for-profit.

We’re ambitious, creative and outspoken. We stand up for children’s rights. We want all children to be educated, healthy and live a life free from violence. We run programs in Australia and overseas and, if there’s a disaster – like an earthquake, drought or conflict – we are there on the ground.

Where you come in:

In this full-time permanent position, based in Carlton (with flexibility to work from home), you will use your exceptional organisational skills and personal drive, to support the Executive Director of Supporter Engagement and the National Retail Operations Manager. This role ensures the smooth administrative running of our critical Supporter Engagement department, including coordinating and delivering timely, accurate and reliable administration support for all stakeholders.

You will make an impact by:

• Providing effective diary management and associated activities for the Director of Supporter Engagement
• Producing internal communications on behalf of the Director of Supporter Engagement and National Retail Operations Manager
• Preparing and coordinating meetings, agendas, minutes, and action items
• Coordinating travel arrangements for the Retail team and the Supporter Engagement Leadership Team.
• Providing support in coordinating and implementing procedural changes across the retail department

Does this sound like you?

You’re pragmatic, organised, efficient, astute, and comfortable in taking ownership and responsibility when it’s required. Being able to notice the smaller details while also being two steps ahead is a skill that you’ve honed throughout your career, although may not necessarily be within an administrative role. If you are passionate about building relationships, are highly organised and want to contribute to an amazing and well-respected cause, this role is for you.

This role requires:

• Experience in a role where your ability to manage a high volume of tasks and capacity to juggle competing priorities is demonstrated,
• High quality customer service skills, including the ability to build rapport and strong relationships,
• Highly developed written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to liaise with a diverse range of people and stakeholders,
• Strong time management and organisational skills,
• Highly developed computer literacy (Microsoft Outlook, online meetings, word processing, spreadsheets, databases).

Working at Save the Children is more than just a job.

It’s the feeling of knowing that your work is contributing to making the world a better place for children and working with others who feel the same. In addition to a connection to social causes, you will have access to:

• Individual learning plans to assist in your career development,
• Friendly and flexible work environment, including opportunity to WFH,
• Pet and child friendly work environment,
• Support for workplace wellness, including access to our free and confidential Employee Assistance Program (EAP),
