Do you want to see better outcomes for people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness?

Then join the Q Shelter team!

Q Shelter is currently growing its team, to implement a major new initiative across Queensland. As part of this growth, we are looking for an Office Administrator, to be based at our lovely historic building in Spring Hill, on the Brisbane CBD fringe.

We’re looking for a passionate person who is comfortable working on a broad range of tasks from reception and general office administration, through to project managing process improvements related to the administration of Q Shelter.

The role will work closely with one other administrative role, including shared responsibility for reception activities, and will report to the Manager Organisational Support.

The role falls within the Social, Community, Home Care and Disability Services Industry Award and the successful applicant will be offered a position between level 2.1 ($27.80/hour) and 3.1($30.94/hour), depending on experience.

Staff in these positions will be expected to work within a culturally appropriate framework.
