Australian Lutheran World Service (ALWS) is the international humanitarian aid and development agency of the Lutheran Church of Australia and New Zealand (LCANZ). ALWS works with its partners in 12 countries, sponsoring long-term development programs in countries including Indonesia, PNG, Nepal, Myanmar, South Sudan and Burundi. ALWS also supports acute humanitarian emergencies in the world as they arise, such as the earthquake response in Turkeye, and prolonged humanitarian crises, like those impacted by the famine in the horn of Africa. ALWS has a particular focus on refugees and displaced people, and people with disability, people facing discrimination and injustice. ALWS enables Australians to reach out to the world’s most vulnerable people, living in poverty or facing injustice and in danger of being forgotten. 

Our vision is of a world where love comes to life (see 1 John 4:9-12), a world where all people live in just societies, where we are all empowered to achieve our full potential, uphold our rights and the rights of others for a life with peace and dignity; and where we are all inspired to remember, welcome and support those who suffer from poverty and injustice (see Galatians 2:10 and Leviticus 25:35).

We aim to reach out in love, for justice, and our mission is to bring together people willing to work in service to help end suffering. 

We now have an exciting opportunity for an experienced Administration Coordinator to join our head office team full-time in Albury, NSW.

The Opportunity

As our Administration Coordinator, you will support our leadership team from our Albury head office. You will be joining a small and agile team, serving a large national and international network providing humanitarian support across the globe. This is a newly created role, which will support our Finance and Support Services Manager, as well as our wider leadership team.

A large part of your role as Administration Coordinator will include checking the compliance of all documentation, primarily ensuring that documentation or information received from our international programs meets requirements for information needed to report in to the Australian government.

Working with ALWS, you will ensure our team is organised and on schedule to get things done. As we do sensitive work to help provide aid overseas, we need you to facilitate our onboarding checks for new starters.

Responsibilities:

• Coordinate employee, volunteer, sub-contractor and organisation compliance tracking, monitoring and actions;

Remuneration & Benefits

In addition to being part of our dedicated and passionate organisation, you will also receive a generous salary, above the SCHADS award for administrators. You will also enjoy a range of additional benefits, including:

• Net benefit of approximately $6,000 per year from FBT exemption
• 3 additional days of annual leave over the Christmas-New Year period
• Flexible working options, including flexible hours
• Ongoing training, career development and mentoring opportunities

Most importantly, you will derive daily satisfaction and joy, knowing that you are creating positive change in the lives of some of the world's most vulnerable people.

What you will bring to the role

Our new Administration Coordinator will demonstrate a highly personable, proactive, and values-based approach, as well as administrative experience. You will have experience in scheduling and assisting a leadership team.

ALWS is a collaborative team, and when you join us you will bring a proactive and flexible approach, able to manage competing priorities effectively. Your ability to communicate effectively with people of all backgrounds will help you succeed in this role, as will your ability to be task-focused.

Strong attention to detail will be imperative for you when examining documentation, and experience with compliance would be an advantage.

You will have experience in office administration, including strong computer literacy and high-level communication skills with people from many backgrounds.

Experience as an Executive Assistant or similar will be highly regarded.
