About the Role
The Administration Officer is responsible for providing administrative and secretariat support to PCA’s Board Chair, Chief Executive Officer, Finance Manager and PCA Leadership Team to ensure the efficient operation of the PCA office. An important aspect of this role is to provide a professional image as PCA’s first point of contact, responding to enquiries and contributing towards the continuous improvement of administrative policies and procedures.
The successful candidate will have sound experience providing support at a senior / executive level. Your background will have given you demonstrated administrative and office-based skills, including organising general office functions and processes, as well as the ability to perform reception duties to a very high standard.

These communication skills will extend to your interactions with stakeholders, and you'll be able to work productively with a broad range of people from varied personal and professional backgrounds, including executive management, team members and stakeholders. A high level of tact and professionalism is essential.
As you'll be managing correspondence, reports and numerous other forms of communication, you'll need sound writing and editing skills, as well as a high level of organisation and attention to detail. Equally, you'll be able to prioritise your workload to manage your time effectively and achieve outcomes within agreed timeframes.
PCA is seeking an office administration professional who will work well both independently and as part of a collaborative team. Proficient computer skills are essential.
