Full Job Description

Support leaders who are committed to people, purpose, and progress – at Cara, we’re not a disability service, we’re a possibility service!

Are you an experienced Executive Assistant who thrives in a purpose driven environment and takes pride in enabling strong leadership and governance?

At Cara, our CEO and Deputy CEO are widely respected for the way they lead, grounded in our values, deeply committed to our people, promoting and advocating for endless possibilities for our clients and genuinely inspiring in their approach. This role offers a rare opportunity to work closely alongside them, supporting not only their day-to-day effectiveness but also contributing to the governance, risk, and operational excellence of the organisation.

We are seeking a highly capable, detail-oriented professional who is as passionate about culture and values as they are about precision, organisation, and impact.

About the role

This is a pivotal executive role supporting the CEO and Deputy CEO, extending well beyond traditional executive support. Acting as a trusted extension of the CEO and Deputy CEO, you will ensure organisational priorities are delivered with pace, accuracy, and sound judgement, supporting effective executive decision making and strong governance outcomes.

You will sit at the centre of Board and Committee operations, governance coordination, and risk reporting, working closely with senior leaders to ensure clarity, accountability, and follow through on key priorities. You will also oversee one direct report within the WHS function, supporting coordination, reporting, and compliance activities.

Support risk strategy development and monitoring of emerging risks and mitigation actions
Contribute to improved risk visibility through reporting and governance support

People leadership – WHS Coordinator

Supervise and support the WHS Coordinator
Ensure WHS reporting and compliance obligations are met accurately and on time
Act as operational line manager, with the CEO as designated WHS responsible officer
Support coordination of WHS documentation, reporting, and compliance activities

Key skills and experience

Experience supporting a CEO, Deputy CEO, or senior executive in a complex environment
Strong Board and governance support experience, including minute-taking and compliance coordination
Experience with risk reporting or organisational risk frameworks highly regarded
Proven ability to manage competing priorities, meet deadlines, and deliver outcomes independently
High attention to detail and strong organisational capability
Strong IT skills with ability to troubleshoot systems and coordinate technical support
Experience supervising or leading staff preferred
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
High integrity, discretion, and alignment with organisational values

Why join us?

$15,900 tax free per year through salary packaging
$2,650 tax free per year on meals and entertainment
Flexible work practices are supported, including hybrid/WFH arrangements where appropriate
Work alongside inspiring, values-led executives
Access to an industry leading Employee Assistance Program
