Key responsibilities include:
  • Supporting the administration and oversight of grant agreements

  • Engaging with grant recipients to ensure compliance and provide operational support
  • Building relationships with community organisations and service providers
  • Collaborating with internal and external stakeholders to improve service access
  • Contributing to broader program operations and ad hoc tasks as required

What you'll need to succeed

  • Experience in program or grant management within a government or community setting
  • Strong stakeholder engagement skills, particularly with diverse and remote communities
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a dynamic environment
  • Cultural awareness and sensitivity
  • Strong organisational and problem-solving skills
You must be an Australian Citizen and be willing to undergo and maintain a Baseline Security Clearance. Previous experience in a similar role within the public sector is highly regarded.

What you'll get in return

This is a rewarding opportunity to contribute to a high-impact national initiative supporting community development and service access. You’ll be engaged at a competitive hourly rate of
$75 per hour plus super.
