About the Client
Our client is a non-profit, NDIS-registered disability support provider delivering services that promote independence, celebrate diversity and enrich communities across regional Western Australia.

The role requires exceptional attention to detail, strong comprehension and correct application of policies and compliance requirements, discretion with confidential information, and clear, confident communication with staff, managers and the Board.

Collate data and help create the digital Annual Report for publication on the website. Operations & Service Support Manage bookings for the organisation's flexible/day-service space: process required forms, manage room/space calendars, and ensure the website's booking function is maintained and promoted.
