WHO WE ARE

Do you want to make a difference? Work on something meaningful and have a purpose? Join Go Gentle Australia - a small team making a big difference to end-of-life care.

We are a national charity known for our major role in legalising voluntary assisted dying laws in all six Australian states. These laws mean people who are terminally ill can choose to end their lives on their own terms with help from their doctor.

Voluntary assisted dying returns power and control to the dying person, providing choice, comfort and relief to them and their loved ones. Now the systems are up and running in five states, with NSW to follow later this year, you’ll join at a pivotal time and a period of growth.

We work in a light, airy office in Darlinghurst with easy access to the city, green space and too many cafes to count - which happily also allows dogs. We're a caffeine-powered, friendly team who believe in a positive work-life balance. Flexible working is welcomed.

We're looking for an experienced operations professional, able to work in office environments and small teams, to join us on a part-time basis (3-4 days a week). You’ll work directly with the CEO to keep our team organised, our processes efficient and help us deliver our key projects.

• Support operations and logistics for our inaugural Voluntary Assisted Dying Conference, scheduled for September 2023
• Improve and develop our policies and procedures
• Provide basic IT, technical and trouble-shooting support
