About the Role

The Administration Officer is responsible for providing administrative and secretariat support to PCA’s Board Chair, Chief Executive Officer, Finance Manager and PCA Leadership Team to ensure the efficient operation of the PCA office. An important aspect of this role is to provide a professional image as PCA’s first point of contact, responding to enquiries and contributing towards the continuous improvement of administrative policies and procedures.

The successful candidate will have sound experience providing support at a senior / executive level. Your background will have given you demonstrated administrative and office-based skills, including organising general office functions and processes, as well as the ability to perform reception duties to a very high standard.

You'll have an outstanding phone manner and be calm and empathetic when managing difficult enquiries. These communication skills will extend to your interactions with stakeholders, and you'll be able to work productively with a broad range of people from varied personal and professional backgrounds, including executive management, team members and stakeholders. A high level of tact and professionalism is essential.

As you'll be managing correspondence, reports and numerous other forms of communication, you'll need sound writing and editing skills, as well as a high level of organisation and attention to detail. Equally, you'll be able to prioritise your workload to manage your time effectively and achieve outcomes within agreed timeframes.

PCA is seeking an office administration professional who will work well both independently and as part of a collaborative team. Proficient computer skills are essential.

About the Benefits

In exchange for your hard work and dedication, you will be rewarded with a competitive FTE annual salary range of $65,000 - $70,000 (salary commensurate with skills, knowledge and experience), plus super, plus salary packaging options.

You will be joining a small, dedicated team where your hard work will be rewarded and you'll work in a supportive family, friendly environment.
