• Have experience working in the non-profit, education, training and/or social enterprise sectors

Remuneration and Benefits

This role is a newly up-sized permanent ongoing role with a salary range between $90 - $120k FTE plus superannuation depending on the skills & experience of the candidate and their ability to contribute to and shape commercial & HR strategy.

When considering your potential take-home package it’s really cool to note that as a registered public benevolent institution (PBI) Youth Opportunities employees can salary sacrifice up to $30,000 p/a of which $15,899 is exempt from Fringe Benefits Tax. That means your take home pay increases without working longer hours! A salary comparison estimator is available on request.

With young people at the heart we empower each other to grow, inspire with passion and demonstrate gratitude all in the spirit of partnership. It’s a pretty optimistic and fun place to work!
