Your Opportunity

Mission Australia Inner City Services provides immediate accommodation and intensive case management to clients with complex needs, helping break the cycle of homelessness. The service supports up to 40 male clients in a safe and supportive environment.

We’re looking for a vibrant and organised Administrative Support Officer to be the welcoming face of our service! In this dynamic role, you’ll be at the heart of our operations—greeting visitors, supporting staff, and keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes. Every day brings something new, and your contribution will help create a positive experience for both clients and staff.

Key Responsibilities

• Be the first point of contact—greet visitors, manage calls, and respond to inquiries.
• Support daily operations including supplies, IT liaison, and policy updates.
• Assist with admin tasks like mail handling, record keeping, and meeting documentation.
• Maintain knowledge of homelessness services to support referrals and service delivery.
• Apply conflict resolution techniques to ensure a safe and respectful environment.
• Coordinate logistics—room bookings, catering, car parking, and site needs.

Requirements for Success

• Proven experience in administrative support roles.
• Strong skills in Microsoft Office and database systems.
• Excellent communication, literacy, and numeracy skills.
• Ability to build relationships and work collaboratively in a team.
• Solid customer service experience.
• Previous experience working with vulnerable populations or in homelessness services is highly regarded.

Before starting work with us, you will need to undertake a national police history check, qualifications, and referee checks, and have a clearance to work with children/vulnerable people.

Your benefits

• Rewarding work – every day you know you’re making a real difference
• Not-for-profit salary packaging, reducing your tax (details via AccessPay)
• Free external, confidential counselling and access to chaplaincy support
• Volunteering opportunities
• Opportunity to purchase additional annual leave
• Extra leave including Mission Australia Thank You Day & Work Anniversary Day off
