The South East Councils Climate Change Alliance (SECCCA) is a network of nine local governments in Victoria’s south-east, responding regionally to the challenge of climate change. Our vision is that the communities of the southeast of Melbourne are thriving, live a zero-emissions lifestyle, and are resilient to the changing climate.

SECCCA has recently expanded its operations and requires an effective and efficient part-time (.6FTE) administration assistant to support the Executive Officer in the functioning of the organisation.

The key responsibilities of the role are to:

• Assist the SECCCA Executive Officer and Secretary with the efficient running of meetings, including assisting with the development of agendas, taking minutes, organising room bookings, managing calendars
• Assist the SECCCA Executive Officer with the management of events, including venue, speaker, and program arrangements
• Coordinate the SECCCA Councillor Advisory Group (CAG) including the development of advocacy communications
• Support the Executive Officer to administer the organisation
• Support the Executive Officer to undertake the organisation’s advocacy and communications priorities

To be successful in this role, you will have impeccable written and verbal communication skills, be proficient in the use of Office 365, digital communication platforms, and other relevant applications. You are highly organised and self-motivated with a well-developed ability to self-direct. You can demonstrate an ability to work as an effective team member and to establish and maintain collaborative working relationships.

Ideally, you have previous experience in similar roles and you are also interested in sustainability and climate change issues.

SECCCA staff work from their respective home-based offices (with occasional on-site meetings at council offices) thus you will be required to work from your home. You will be provided with a laptop and compensation for expenses incurred, including mobile phone use, will be negotiated.

A position description is attached.
