The Grief Centre of WA is the key resource and support Centre for Grief and Loss in Western Australia. Our vision is a community where grief and loss are responded to with deep care and compassion. We are on a mission and about to experience a rapid period of growth. We need a team of dedicated leaders who can help us transform our small community service into a medium sized well-funded and sustainable organisation.

The stage is set and we are now looking for our cast of pragmatic, energetic, visionary, wise and grounded business and community-hearted leaders. Leaders who are willing to get their hands dirty, want connection and love a good outcome.

This is a service role that is loaded with feel good moments and unexpected joy.

Due to the resignation of a valued committee member who has gone on to bigger things, we now have a vacancy on our committee that we are looking to fill with the right person.

The key duties include:

• Attending management committee meetings monthly and contributing wise counsel.
• Responding to emails between meetings.
• Participating in Centre events.
• Using your networks and connections to help us to grow a sustainable organisation well into the future.
• Utilising your understanding of best business practices and governance to strategically contribute to discussions and decision-making.
• Opportunities to engage in or lead one of our subcommittee working groups.

You will need a lived experience of grief and loss, as this is a peer led organisation with 100% lived experience participation from staff and management committee members.

This is an invitation to join a community, not just a committee, so this opportunity will not suit someone who has limited capacity or is intensely introverted.
