Opportunity: Admin Ninja

ECCWA is in the first stages of transformation.

The mountain we are climbing is complex, hard to navigate, and has a summit date. This is an exciting time to join us as part of the transformation Team.

We are looking for someone who is exceptionally organized, committed and wants to be part of a solution. We are aligned to a united vision, Board and staff.

As the peak body of multicultural communities of Western Australia and its member organisations, we are poised to make an impact through systemic advocacy, an agenda of education, political influence, policy, and equity for ethnic committees across WA. We are small and mighty, with a hunger to succeed for those we serve.

This job requires a hands-on approach, innovation, flexibility, a can-do, will-do attitude, and a wide range of administration skills.

If you are ethically driven, a person who is as comfortable with their sleeves up, tackling a variety of administration tasks, then please apply. Non-Government Organisation / Not-For-Profit experience would be very desirable.

We welcome applications from people across our Ethnic communities in WA.

Start Date: to-be-confirmed

ECCWA Going Forward

We would like to inform you that the Ethnic Communities Council of WA is currently in the process of organisational change, to ensure that we thrive long into the future for all those we represent across WA.

As a result, we regret to inform you that we are facing limitations in our capacity to fulfill requests related to advocacy, legal assistance, research, partnerships, community engagement outreach, volunteer positions, and student placements until the new year. For those of you who are members, our October newsletter will give you a greater insight into our plans.

Our current focus on navigating these changes has led to limitations and a refocus in our resources and human capital.

It's important for you to know that our commitment to our work, our members and our community remains unwavering, and we are dedicated to resuming our services in February 2025, with renewed focus and vigor . We are looking forward to reconnecting with you and continuing our work in the New year.

We genuinely appreciate your understanding and patience during this period of transition.

Angelena Fixter (CEO)
