Our mission is to brighten the lives of seriously ill children and their families. Our programs bring them fun, joy and laughter when they need it most, because happiness matters. When you join Starlight, you’ll:
- Change lives for the better, positively impacting the lives of seriously ill children, young people, and their families.
- Have inspiring and positive work. We work to our strengths, we care about each other, and we work collaboratively.
- You’ll be included in an exceptional team. We’ve been recognised as a Great Place to Work, we’re one of AFR’s Most Innovative Companies and we’re also the most trusted children’s charity in Australia.
At Starlight, we couldn’t do what we do every day without the significant contribution of our amazing volunteers. In this role you’ll make a BIG impact by attracting and recruiting the best people to volunteer in our programs and by engaging our existing volunteer community to ensure they have exceptional experiences.
As part of the People & Culture team, you'll report directly to the National Volunteer Manager, and work closely with each functional team across Starlight. This is a great opportunity to flex your communication muscles and become an advocate for Starlight's programs and attract the right people to volunteer within our programs. On any given day you could be chatting with prospective candidates, on-boarding new recruits, strategising for future recruitment needs or developing creative strategies to engage our existing volunteer community.
