ABOUT YOUR ORGANISATION

Riddells Creek Neighbourhood House is a wonderful place to be! Providing community focused programs and activities that build capacity of individuals and strengthen the community as a whole through a strong volunteer based philosophy. We have a strategic focus on community development in a small, but growing regional town, and the Skills Connect Project Coordinator will play a key role in achieving our vision of being ‘The Heart and Hub of the Community’.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Supported by the Community Engagement Manager, the Skills Connect Project Coordinator will actively coordinate the development and evaluation of a new program model to build volunteer capacity in the local area of Riddells Creek, with the aim of widening access to the model developed across other Neighbourhood Houses and community organisations.

This is a part time / 15hrs per week over a six month contract with a deadline to fulfil a successful grant by 30 June 2025.

The project will coordinate and connect local community organisations with appropriately skilled volunteers. This will involve reaching out to new potential volunteers in the community, identifying skills and capabilities and reaching out to community groups and identifying their needs. Then bringing this together to link appropriately skilled volunteers with local organisations that are a good match.
