An exciting part-time program administration opportunity has opened to join the Reach programs team in our Melbourne office.
Being young is not without its struggles. Today’s world is pretty complex and young people can experience a bunch of challenges that adults might not be able to relate to. One of the biggest hurdles is just having the confidence and support to be who they want to be.
There are currently over 4 million young people living in Australia, and Reach works with over 40,000 of them a year. We have the best of the best facilitators working for us; designing and delivering workshops in schools and the community. Our workshops are 100% youth-led, from design through to delivery, and the community we create out of these workshops is one that allows for deeper connection, a sense of belonging, and the dispelling of judgements. A preventative, instead of having to focus on symptoms in adult life.
Supporting young people to discover their power.
The Program Administration Assistant role sits in the Reach Programs team as a support to Reach Program Managers. The programs team works across all stakeholders at Reach, both internal and external to make our programs come to life. Program managers work with schools, community organisations and parents to engage young people in our Programs across Victoria and New South Wales. The program administration assistant is an important part of this team to ensure all logistics, communication and details have been followed through at an exceptional level. Every detail is essential in achieving a high-quality program.
The Reach Crew is a group of young people who are committed to creating, designing, and delivering experiences for other young people to learn more about themselves, connect with others and be their best selves. The Reach Crew consists of both volunteers, casual and contracted employees. This role will work along side crew and staff alike to ensure all logistics are covered for our programs to run!
You are a detailed orientated person who is always one step ahead. The Program Administration Assistant is an integral supporting role in the Programs teams and we are looking for someone who loves organising to set a team up for success. This role is responsible for supporting the school workshop booking process, updating calendars and spreadsheets, managing participant information, booking travel arrangements and more. This role will mainly support Victorian school workshop bookings but will also have times of supporting community workshops and NSW workshops.
