Child Migrants Trust

About the service and the role

International social work agency in Hawthorn is recruiting an Office Manager with qualifications in Administration and experience working in a sensitive, confidential setting. This is an unusual post, working across borders/time zones with colleagues based in Western Australia and the UK.

CMT provides trauma informed services to older adults and their families separated by Commonwealth child migration schemes. Our clients are recovering from childhood institutional abuse, compounded by decades without knowledge of their family or identity.

Can you contribute administrative leadership and support to a professional team that provides specialist social work services? Are you a reliable professional with a positive attitude? If you are a skilled multi-tasker and want to make a real difference, this role could be for you.

You must have the right to live and work in Australia to be considered for this position.
