Produce clear, accurate reports for internal teams and external funders

Support ongoing quality improvement through meaningful use of data
Database Support & Administration
Help staff use the client database correctly and consistently
Support training for new staff and develop system guides
Maintain user access and manage roles in the system
Ensure accurate data entry, and lead data cleansing tasks
Data Integrity & Ethics
Handle data ethically and confidentially
Promote best practice in data privacy and security
What You’ll Bring
Experience collecting, analysing, and reporting on data
Strong attention to detail and accuracy
Ability to use data systems and tools (e.g. Excel, databases)
Strong time management and organisational ability
Ability to work independently and as part of a team
Current Working with Children Check (WWCC)
It’s a bonus if you have these, but not essential
