All Together Now aims to prevent racism by promoting racial equality through education. We are the only national charity dedicated to preventing all forms of racism in Australia.

All Together Now’s ground-breaking Community Action for Preventing Extremism (CAPE) project was established in 2012 to plant a seed of doubt in the minds of young men who were attracted to white supremacy. Since then it has gone from strength to strength and remains the only project of its kind in Australia. The project’s focus in NSW over the next four years will be to interact directly with white nationalists online to challenge their beliefs, and to establish and support a volunteer youth network that will challenge white nationalist activity across the state.

The Administrative Officer is responsible for ensuring the details of the project are organised so that everything runs smoothly. S/he reports to the Project Manager and works one day per week.

The Administrative Officer will undertake the following tasks:

1. Book-keeping and associated paperwork, including reconciling bank accounts and ensuring budgets and other relevant record keeping is kept up-to- date.
2. Organising and booking training venues, travel and accommodation for training days.
3. Organising logistical details related to training days, e.g. printing workbooks for participants.
4. Assist in monitoring and evaluation of the project.

Selection criteria:

1. Demonstrated experience in updating the financial records of a small business or not-for- profit using Saasu software (or similar) including reconciling financial records with bank account records.
2. Excellent attention to detail.
3. Self-motivated worker who is proactive and shows initiative.
4. Genuine interest in human rights, with experience in racism prevention or closely related socio-political activities essential (e.g. refugee and asylum seeker rights, Indigenous rights, preventing hate speech, preventing cyber-bullying, etc.).

Hours: This is a four-year contract starting in August 2016. The Administrative Officer will work one day per week from All Together Now’s office on Regent Street in Chippendale (close to Central Station) subject to negotiation with the Project Manager.

The Administrative Officer will be paid a gross package of $60,000 per year pro rata, which is inclusive of 9.5% Superannuation.

Due to the sensitive nature of this project, the Administrative Officer will be required to keep some details of the project confidential indefinitely.
