- Location: Keswick
- $60,000 - $65,000 + super full-time position
- Help create brighter futures for South Australian children
Looking for a role where your work genuinely makes a difference?
At Variety – the Children's Charity, we help children who are sick, living with disability or experiencing disadvantage to participate fully in life. Through grants, programs, events and community support, we create opportunities for kids to thrive, regardless of the challenges they face.
We're looking for a friendly, organised and enthusiastic Reception, Administration & Events Assistant to join our team in Keswick.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys working with people, loves variety in their day, and wants to be part of an organisation that makes a real impact in the lives of South Australian children and families.

You'll provide reception and administrative support across the organisation while also assisting with fundraising events, volunteer coordination and day-to-day office operations.
No two days are quite the same. One day you might be greeting visitors, helping with event registrations and supporting volunteers, and the next you could be assisting with donor communications, processing donations or helping prepare for one of our fundraising events.

About You
We're looking for someone who enjoys helping people, takes pride in being organised and is keen to learn.

- A positive, can-do approach
- Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
- The ability to manage multiple tasks and priorities
- Confidence using Microsoft Office programs
- A willingness to learn new systems and processes
Experience in administration, reception, customer service, retail, hospitality or volunteering would be highly regarded, but isn't essential.
School leavers, graduates and people returning to the workforce are encouraged to apply.
Experience with Salesforce would be an advantage, but training will be provided.
