BirdLife Australia is on a mission to put birds and nature on the path to recovery within a decade. With over 350,000 supporters, donors, volunteers, campaigners and members, you will join over 150 staff across Australia, and a network of more than 40 voluntary community groups. Together, our growing network of people stand together to help us protect Australia’s unique birdlife.
The role of the Board Secretary is to provide high-level administrative support to BirdLife Australia’s Board and Committee activities and the Annual General Meeting. As the Board and Committees are made up of members volunteering their time to BirdLife, this role plays a significant part in fostering a positive relationship between BirdLife Australia’s Executive Team, staff and the Board and Committee members.
This is a part-time position of three days per week (0.6 FTE), working an average of 22.5 hours a week, offered on a 24-month fixed-term contract. However, the distribution of work hours and days will vary during peak periods in line with the annual Board cycle.
Peak periods are quarterly and consist of the week prior to Board and Committee meetings and the week during which meetings occur. During peak periods, the rostered hours may fall between 8.00am and 8.00pm, in accordance with the meeting schedule (see Appendix 1 in the position description). Outside the peak period, workdays will return to three days per week and flexible arrangements can be arranged by mutual agreement with the Senior Manager, Business Planning. How work hours vary within a fortnight will be discussed in advance and approved in the roster system.
The role operates on a salary basis, and the agreed remuneration accounts for the variable nature of hours, including work performed during evenings.
Please see appendix 1 for a list of meeting dates.
