Administration Officer - Community Fundraising & Events volunteer
Advertised by Volunteering SA&NT
Studying event management or looking to build your events and admin experience? This role gives you hands-on exposure to how a not-for-profit plans, coordinates and delivers large-scale community fundraising events - from participant engagement and stakeholder communication through to the behind-the-scenes data and logistics that keep an event running smoothly. It's a great way to build real-world skills for your resume while supporting a cause that matters.
What you'll be doing:
- Supporting the Community Fundraising team as it prepares for community-led events
- Answering phone enquiries and managing our team inbox
- Making "welcome calls" to newly registered Relay For Life participants — thanking them, answering questions, and offering support
- Providing support for our team captains and community fundraisers
- Drawing from our customer management system, Salesforce, into Excel
- General ad hoc office support
- Attending event activities
What we're looking for:
- A genuine desire to support people affected by cancer and the community members who fundraise on our behalf
- Good attention to detail, particularly with data entry and record-keeping
- A confident, friendly phone manner
- Comfortable using the Microsoft Office suite (Word, Excel, Outlook)
- Previous experience with a client management system such as Salesforce is ideal but not essential (full training and support provided)
- Someone who is keen to be part of a fun, supportive and friendly workplace
- Ability to work independently and also as part of a wonderful team
Good to know: This role sits within our Community Fundraising space, supporting events such as Relay For Life and Do It For Cancer throughout the year
