The position involves a lot of variety and hard work within a small dynamic team. The role is stimulating and highly rewarding.

Duties and Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Provide confidential, efficient, and effective administration support to the Executive Director and the broader CSWA team.
• Review, analyse and edit key reports, prepare summary documents for the CSWA team and other key stakeholders.

• Draft correspondence, disseminate information and follow up on action items as directed.
• Maintain the CSWA share drive in an organised manner.

• Maintain, manage, and enhance the CSWA database.

• Significant diary organisation and coordination of meetings, conferences, travel and accommodation, including management of supporting documentation.
• Coordinate and actively participate in coordination of CSWA events.

• Tidy and particular with great attention to the finer details – understand the importance of presentation as a reflection of the brand – whether how the office is maintained or how you construct an email – everything needs the same level of care.
