CMY340 Administration Officer - YRIPP 

About CMY

The Centre for Multicultural Youth (CMY) is a not-for-profit organisation based in Victoria, providing specialist knowledge and support to young people from refugee and migrant backgrounds. Our vision is that young people from migrant and refugee backgrounds are connected, empowered and influential Australians.

About the Program Area

YRIPP is the Youth Referral and Independent Person Program and sits within the broader Program and Services area. YRIPP delivers a high quality system of adult volunteers called “Independent Persons” who attend police interviews with young people in police custody when a parent or guardian is not available. YRIPP also seeks to divert young people from future offending through early intervention at the point of police contact. YRIPP is supported by the Victorian Government and delivered by the Centre for Multicultural Youth and the Youth Affairs Council of Victoria in partnership with community legal centres and Victoria Police.

About the Role

The Administration Officer is responsible for delivering high quality administrative services and support to the YRIPP staff team and volunteers. Tasks include program data entry, answering phones and responding to queries, support with volunteer recruitment & training, mail outs, filing, and other duties as directed. The Administration Officer may also provide administrative support to the leadership team with stakeholder events and communications as required.

The Administration Officer role is one of three within the YRIPP team. Each of these roles are allocated portfolio responsibility across one of the following areas:

1. IP Volunteers Training & Recruitment

2. Central Administration & Communications

3. IRS Process Support

While this Administration Officer role is responsible for IRS Process Support portfolio area, it is expected that all Administration Officers provide support during peak demand periods and act as a backup across all portfolio areas as required and directed by YRIPP leadership.
