Do you have a knack for writing, great organisational skills, and a passion for making a difference in your community? Life Education Trust West Coast is looking for an Administration Officer to help secure vital funding that supports our health and wellbeing education for tamariki across the Coast – alongside our much-loved giraffe Harold!

This flexible, part-time role (approximately 25–35 hours per month) can be completed from home.

Key responsibilities include:

• Preparing and submitting grant applications and accountability reports
• Managing meeting agendas, minutes, and general trust administration
• Supporting and coordinating fundraising initiatives and community events
• Overseeing social media accounts and communications to promote our work and engage supporters
• Accounts payable/accounts receivable

The ideal person will have:

• Strong written communication and grammar, with the ability to prepare professional reports and documents
• A good level of computer literacy (including Xero, Microsoft Office, Canva and social media platforms)
• Initiative, attention to detail, and a proactive, community-minded approach

While these skills are preferred, we recognise that the right applicant may bring transferable experience and a willingness to learn. Full training and support can be provided for the successful candidate. In return, we offer flexibility and the opportunity to grow your role over time, while being part of a well-loved national charity that makes a genuine difference in the lives of young people. If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!
