The Shire of Boddington is proud to be serving our community as a values driven organisation, with a diverse range of services. It is in servicing this community that the Shire is seeking a suitably experienced and motivated individual to join our team as a Youth Centre Assistant.

As a Youth Centre Assistant, you will need the ability to communicate and relate to young people attending the Youth Centre, and engage with them throughout the program delivery. Previous experience working with young people is not necessary, however, would be favourably regarded.

Responsibilities of the role include:

• Support the efficient and effective daily operations of the Boddington Youth Centre
• Assist with implementation and planning of projects and programs
• Engage effectively with young people who are utilising the Boddington Youth Centre and/or
  participating in projects and programs, with a focus on building rapport

The successful applicant will also have a positive, honest, collaborative attitude, an interest in working with young people with a view to provide enriching experiences, and be able to work with limited supervision.

This role attracts an hourly rate up to $30.65 (inclusive of loading) plus 11% superannuation, based on an adult wage.

A satisfactory National Police Clearance (dated within the last 3 months) and a valid and current C Class Driver’s License are prerequisites for this role.

Should you be our preferred candidate, you will be rewarded with a fantastic opportunity for work/life balance. This position is for 7 hours per week during the school term and up to 24 hours per week during the school holidays. Flexibility is required to work additional hours relevant to the needs of the role.
