We’re The Y WA (formerly the YMCA WA) and we’re looking for a receptionist to join our talented and friendly corporate team based in Welshpool (Perth, WA).
The Y WA has been contributing to our local Australian communities since 1851. We believe in the power of inspired young people, delivering health and wellbeing, childcare, education, youth, and community services to thousands of Australians every day. None of this would be possible without our unique Y People!
