Full Job Description

Do you want to join an organisation where your work directly supports children and young people overcoming trauma - and where the portfolio you manage really matters?

At MacKillop Family Services, we provide more than a roof over someone’s head. We create homes that are safe, nurturing, and filled with possibility. Every child in our care comes to us through the Child Protection system, and each one deserves to be seen, heard, and given the chance to heal and thrive.

We are seeking a Property Officer to join our team, playing a hands-on role in managing a diverse portfolio of organisational properties, based in Belconnen, ACT.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

As the Property Officer, you'll manage the day-to-day operations of an allocated portfolio of leased, licensed and owned properties - ensuring they are safe, compliant, well maintained, and fit for service delivery.

You’ll coordinate property searches, site openings and closures, maintenance, contractors, security systems, and administration within established frameworks. Working closely with the Property Team, you’ll drive compliance, WHS outcomes, and accurate records.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

As a Property Officer, you will:

Manage the day‑to‑day operations of an allocated property portfolio in line with organisational frameworks.
Coordinate property searches, site openings and closures, utilities, access arrangements, and documentation to support continuous service delivery.
Oversee planned and reactive maintenance and minor works, ensuring quality, timeliness, and compliance.
Manage contractor engagement, supporting compliance, performance, and safe work practices.
Promote property‑level WHS compliance through proactive risk identification and issue escalation.
Maintain accurate property, maintenance, contractor, and security records across organisational systems.
Work closely with the Property Team and Regional Property Coordinator to deliver consistent property outcomes.

We are currently recruiting one full-time ongoing position.

KEY REQUIREMENTS:

To be successful in this role, you will have:

Experience in Property and/or Facilities Management.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Customer‑focused, with the ability to remain calm under pressure.
Highly organised, able to prioritise and meet deadlines.
Proven ability to work collaboratively, with sound judgement when working independently.
High proficiency in Microsoft Office and ability to learn new systems quickly.
Strong interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively with diverse stakeholders.

Please address the full Key Selection Criteria outlined in the PD as part of your application.

You must have:

Valid and current Driver’s Licence;
Satisfactory Criminal History Check (paid for by MacKillop);
Valid Employee Working with Children Check;
Valid and current NDIS Workers Screening Check (for risk assessed / client facing roles). MacKillop can assist successful candidates with their application.

We value the unique knowledge, perspectives, and cultural contributions of First Nations peoples. Your experience and insights are important to us, and we strongly encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander candidates to apply.
