ADMINISTRATION OFFICER
(with Executive Support responsibilities)

UNITED WORKERS’ UNION - A NEW CHAPTER. A RENEWED FOCUS. JOIN US
United Workers Union is entering an exciting new chapter.
With new leadership comes renewed purpose, fresh energy and a clear ambition: to build the strongest organising union in Australia that wins for workers.
We are looking for enthusiastic, organised and values-based Administration Officers to join one of Australia’s largest and most influential unions. We currently have two full-time, ongoing opportunities available in Canberra and Brisbane.
With training and support, this role is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to build a career in administration and executive support.

ABOUT UNION WORKERS’ UNION
We believe unions are strongest when members lead.
That’s why, United Workers Union is one of Australia’s largest and fastest-growing member-led unions, representing workers across a diverse range of industries that keep our communities running every day. Our members work in aged care; early education; hospitality; logistics; manufacturing; health; cleaning; disability support; warehousing; food production and many other sectors.
Every day we organise to improve the lives of working people and create lasting change.
We do this by pulling every lever to build worker power – growing membership, developing workplace leaders, supporting delegates, organising collective action and campaigning for better wages, safer workplaces, and fairer communities, including campaigning both politically and in the community. The United Workers Union is proudly affiliated with the Australian Labor Party.
As we move into our next chapter, we are investing in growing our organising capability, developing our people and strengthening member-led campaigns across the country.

THE OPPORTUNITY
These are entry-level administration and executive support roles. Working under regular guidance, you will develop practical skills while supporting a range of administrative and organisational activities across the Union.

Your main responsibilities will be to:

Provide comprehensive administrative support, including calendar management, meeting scheduling, room bookings, travel arrangements, and maintaining filing systems.
Coordinate meetings and documentation, preparing agendas, recording minutes, and tracking actions to ensure timely follow-up.
Support executive and senior leaders with correspondence, email management, communication prioritisation, briefing materials, and meeting preparation.
Coordinate team and operational activities, including coordinating meetings and events, gathering information across teams, and supporting staff onboarding.
Monitor projects and follow up action, including maintaining basic timelines and ensuring actions are progressed and completed.
Provide finance and compliance support, including processing invoices and expenses, maintaining records, data entry, procurement support, and office supply management.
Promote and uphold the Union’s values of equity, diversity and inclusion in all aspects of your work.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
We are looking for people who are passionate about and committed to improving the lives of the members we represent.

You are someone who:

Has well-developed written and verbal communication skills, and is able to prepare professional correspondence using approved templates, style guides and established processes.
Can manage competing priorities, remain organised and complete work accurately with appropriate guidance.
Is proficient in Microsoft Office and is comfortable learning new technology and systems.
Works collaboratively and with integrity.
Has a genuine commitment to the values and purpose of UWU.

Previous administration experience is desirable but not essential. We welcome applications from people looking to start or build a career administration and executive support.

WHAT WE OFFER

Generous employment conditions; terms and conditions in accordance with the United Workers Union Employment Agreement 2025, see https://tinyurl.com/UWUEA2025.
Salary commensurate with demonstrated skills and experience.
16% superannuation.
4 weeks annual leave plus 25% leave loading.
Flexible work arrangements.
Supportive leadership committed to developing people.
A diverse, inclusive and values driven workplace.

DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
Our members come from every background imaginable, and we want our workforce to reflect that diversity.
We welcome applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, people with disability, LGBTQIA+ people and anyone who shares our commitment to fairness, inclusion and worker justice.

JOIN THE NEXT CHAPTER
If you want to be part of a Union entering an exciting new era and are looking for meaningful work, ambitious colleagues and the opportunity to make a genuine difference to the lives of working people, we would love to hear from you.
Together, we’ll build stronger workplaces, stronger communities and a stronger union.
Please submit your resume, together with a cover letter addressing the selection criteria appearing under Who we’re looking for to Julie Korlevska, Deputy Director (People, Culture and Change) via the Dayforce careers page.

CLOSING DATE
Applications close 5pm (AEST) on 21 August 2026. Please note we may conduct interviews before the closing date, so get your applications in early.
For further information about the role, please email [email protected]
