📣 SCHOOL LEAVERS, RECENT SCHOOL LEAVERS & CAREER STARTERS — THIS ONE’S FOR YOU
Want someone to give you a genuine start, teach you the role and help you build a career?
Are you finishing school, recently finished, or looking for the opportunity to get your career started? Or do you know someone who is bright, bubbly, motivated and just needs the right opportunity?
Wellspace Australia is looking for an Administration & Intake Trainee to join our national team while completing a Certificate III in Business.
This is a genuine entry-level opportunity where attitude, motivation, initiative and willingness to learn matter far more than having years of experience.
For us, this role is about finding the right person, someone who is bubbly, enthusiastic, motivated, keen to learn, a self-starter and happy to get involved. Someone who takes pride in doing things well, notices the little things, follows things through and isn’t afraid to ask questions or have a go at something new.
This could be a great opportunity for
* A recent school leaver
* Someone finishing Year 12 and looking for their first full-time career opportunity
* A Year 11 or 12 student planning what they would like to move into after school
* Someone who finished school a year or two ago and is still looking for the right career pathway
* Someone with limited work experience who is motivated and keen to learn
* Someone interested in disability, administration, business and helping people
* Someone looking for an opportunity to build real skills, gain a qualification and grow with an organisation over time
* Someone who is simply looking for the right opportunity to get their career started
Some basic familiarity with programs such as Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook or Teams would be advantageous, but it is not essential. More important is being comfortable using a computer, being willing to learn and having the confidence to pick up new systems and processes.
What you’ll learn and gain experience in
* Participant referrals, intake and allocations
* Reception, shared inboxes and customer service
* Administration, documents, spreadsheets and records
* Recruitment and onboarding
* Compliance administration
* Marketing and social media
* Finance administration
* General business operations
You’ll receive comprehensive training, mentoring and ongoing support while completing your Certificate III in Business.
As your skills and confidence grow, you’ll have the opportunity to gradually take on more responsibility and develop experience across different parts of a national organisation.
The position is permanent full-time and can be based anywhere in Australia.
The role is primarily remote, with attendance at team catch-ups, training, events and other in-person activities required from time to time.
Who we think will thrive in this role
* Someone who is bubbly, friendly and enjoys dealing with people
* Someone who is motivated and genuinely keen to learn
* A self-starter who shows initiative rather than waiting to be told every little thing
* Someone reliable who follows things through
* Someone organised who can keep track of tasks and priorities
* Someone who naturally notices the little things and pays attention to detail
* Someone comfortable asking questions when they don’t know something
* Someone willing to have a go, receive feedback and keep learning
* Someone confident communicating with people by phone and email
* Someone interested in building a career and developing over the longer term
* You do not need previous experience in administration or the disability sector. We are looking for potential, attitude and someone who genuinely wants the opportunity to learn.
How to apply
Because this is an entry-level role, we’re not expecting a long CV or a traditional corporate cover letter. We’d much rather get a sense of who you are and how you think.
Please send us your CV. Don’t worry if you haven’t had much work experience yet.
We’d also like you to send us a short letter introducing yourself and answering these three questions:
1. It’s 9:00am and three things happen at once: the phone rings, an urgent new participant referral arrives in the shared inbox, and your manager has asked you to finish a spreadsheet by 10:00am. What would you do first, and how would you manage all three?
2. Tell us about a time you noticed something that other people had missed, fixed or improved something without being asked, or took responsibility for getting something done. It could be from school, work, sport, volunteering or everyday life. What happened and what did you do?
3. Imagine we teach you how to use a new system or complete a new process today, and next week you need to do it independently and accurately. What would you do to make sure you remembered it and got it right?
There are no perfect answers, and you don’t need to know anything about the NDIS to answer them.
We’re interested in how you think, how you approach problems, your initiative, attention to detail, common sense and willingness to learn.
Interested?
