About the job
Central Connect Whare Manaaki has grown considerably over the past five years and with that growth has come more administration, compliance, reporting and plenty of things that simply need someone organised to keep on top of them!
As a result, we are recruiting a newly created part-time Administrator position (15 - 20 hours per week) to provide practical, hands-on support to the Manager and wider team. This is a newly created role, so we expect the position to evolve as the organisation continues to grow.
If you're the sort of person who enjoys variety, spots what needs doing and takes satisfaction from keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes, this could be a great fit. There will be plenty of variety, including:
- General administration and data entry
- Supporting the day-to-day running of the office
- Fleet administration
- Checking invoices and scanning/sending documentation to the accountant
- Maintaining files, records and organisational documents
- Photocopying and document management
- Maintaining asset registers
- Assisting with philanthropic and funding applications
- Helping keep organisational policies current and up to date
- Making basic website updates
- Providing administrative support to the Manager
- Pitching in with other administrative tasks as they arise
Who would suit this role?
We are looking for someone who is organised, practical and dependable, but just as importantly, someone who will enjoy being part of a small community focused organisation. You'll ideally bring:
- Previous administration or office support experience
- Strong organisation and attention to detail
- Strong computer and data-entry skills including being familiar with creating and using Excel spreadsheets and working your way around a Client management system
- Confidence working across a range of administrative tasks
- Clear written and verbal communication
- Discretion and an understanding of confidentiality
- The ability to work independently and use your initiative
- A flexible attitude working within a small and diverse team
- An appreciation for the work of community, social service or not-for-profit organisations
- Experience within the NGO or charitable sector would be useful, but it isn't essential.
- $29.50 per hour, 15-20 hours per week
- Join a warm, established organisation that has been part of the Central Hawke’s Bay community for more than three decades.
- The opportunity to create order, help others and make a difference in the community.
