We are an Australian Children's Charity that was established in Victoria in 1998 and extended into New South Wales in 2003. Mirabel is the vision of Jane Rowe, who identified a vulnerable group of children and took action to make a positive difference in their lives. In her work as a drug and alcohol counsellor, Jane witnessed the devastating effects that drug use has on the children of drug users and the cycle of abuse that repeats itself through generations if action is not taken.
Mirabel believes that every child deserves a childhood and our mission is to break the destructive cycle of addiction. We achieve this through the delivery of proven programs for children who have been orphaned or abandoned due to their parents’ illicit drug use. We also provide crisis support and parenting assistance for the kinship carers faced with the responsibility of raising the children. Mirabel’s vision is that every child has a childhood filled with love, hope and belonging.
This role is essential for the smooth running of our finances, which fund the important work we do to assist disadvantaged children and families. You’ll be the primary support for our Finance Manager, using your accounting skills and eye for detail to keep everything processed accurately. You’re a core part of our friendly administration team, who enjoys helping out to ensure the smooth running of our operations. You will be kept busy processing accounts, assisting with reports, managing spreadsheets and ensuring a positive experience for our donors. While you won’t mind working away in the background to keep everything in check, you’ll also be excited to support our team at fundraising events where you might help manage a silent auction or handle donations for a raffle. You’ll enjoy being in a bright, happy office where your schedule will primarily be office hours.
Working at Mirabel is rewarding and diverse and your role will include things like:

You’re the rock people can rely on:
You’re dependable and easy to get along with. You enjoy being part of a team and are quick to help out when needed.
You appreciate autonomy and get major satisfaction from crossing items off your to-do list:
You know how to manage your time and prioritise your work, without the need for constant supervision. You’ve got great initiative and will always be looking for ‘what’s next’ rather than waiting to be told what to do.
In addition, the position requires meeting the behaviour standards outlined in Mirabel’s Practice and Behaviour Policy and Procedure and to:
