About the Opportunity…
This role provides practical financial, administrative and operational support that helps keep WASH House running smoothly.
  
This is a varied role for someone who enjoys being organised, getting the details right and helping others do their jobs effectively. One day you might be processing invoices and preparing information for the external bookkeeper; the next you could be coordinating a meeting, arranging travel, assisting with recruitment administration or finding a better way to manage an internal process.

About the organisation…
This community-based organisation stands as a cornerstone resource centre for women within the Blacktown LGA, proudly serving the community for over 40 years. The organisation has an unwavering commitment to its mission to diminish the effects of poverty, social inequality, and violence, empowering the lives of women.
Services provided include information and referral, case support and case management, skill building and therapeutic groups, advocacy and various community development activities.
  
The organisation is dedicated to strengthening its community development approaches by fostering greater collaboration, inclusivity, and empowerment within local community. Through targeted programs that focus on education, social inclusion, and safety, WASH House works to build sustainable, resilient communities.
  
The organisation’s outreach efforts, community partnerships, and grassroots initiatives aim to ensure that resources are accessible to women and their families, while also encouraging active participation and leadership from within the community.
  
What you’ll need to succeed…
You’ll suit this role if you’re someone who takes pride in being organised, accurate and dependable. You’re comfortable managing competing priorities, you notice when something doesn’t look right, and you enjoy creating order and improving the way things are done.
  
Importantly, you’ll also understand that working at WASH House is about more than completing administrative tasks. You’ll share the organisation’s commitment to respectful, inclusive and culturally safe practice and be comfortable working within a feminist framework.
