This will involve coordinating, directing, and managing specific activities within the SSP, as well as assisting in data sourcing and analysis through desk-based research and stakeholder consultation.

Your personal attributes should include optimism, resilience, and flexibility. Demonstrated experience in project administration and implementation, as well as skills in systems thinking and continuous improvement, are essential. Excellent time management, written and verbal communication, and interpersonal skills are also required, along with the ability to develop and maintain professional relationships in a collaborative team-based environment.
Having a current Driver's License and access to a roadworthy, registered, and comprehensively insured vehicle for work purposes is necessary for this position.

We encourage applications from all backgrounds. These include, but are not limited to:
Capital Region Community Services (CRCS) provides a wide range of high-quality, integrated and inclusive programs and services to individuals, families, children and young people in the Belconnen and wider Capital Region.
