What we’re looking for:

• Experience in a similar support or coordination role, especially with blue-collar or international workforces.

• Familiarity with the PALM Scheme, PLF, or DFAT-led programs is a big plus!

• Strong organisational and multitasking skills with a calm, problem-solving attitude.

• A passion for helping others, attention to detail, and excellent communication skills.
