Community Engagement and Partnerships Coordinator

Coast Community Care

This role is based at Tumbi Umbi, part-time, ten hours a week.
 

Coast Community Care is an expression of Coast Community Church’s mission and exists we because we believe nobody should have to face a hard season alone. Emergency relief when the fridge is empty. Money mentoring when the debt has outrun the budget. A repaired car for someone who had run out of options. Three hundred and fifty Christmas hampers, given as a gift. And one site doing something rarer.

 

Better Days Café at Tumbi Umbi looks like a very good local café because it is one, and behind the counter it trains people the job market keeps screening out. The rest of the building is becoming a Community Centre. One address, one set of doors. Someone who walks in for one thing can find the next three.

​

THE ROLE IS DESIGNED TO: 

• Hold the relationships and support the activities. Partners, tenants, volunteers, funders and neighbours, known by name and story rather than by lease or program, support for our volunteers making various activities happen.
   

• Help fulfil the vision of the Tumbi site as a community centre. Bring the right new partners in and run casual hire so the calendar fills with the right things.
   

• See what is not there yet. Spot what nobody has proposed and bring it back as a worked idea rather than a suggestion.
   

• Fundraising. Grants to reopen the rooms still sitting unusable, support for Coast Care fundraising activities.
   

• Systems and Governance. Bookkeeping in Xero, our café systems Lightspeed and Deputy, accounts payable, and the systems that ensure the Board has confidence the organisation is meeting its obligations.

 

THE DETAIL: 
 

• Ten hours a week to start, ideally two five-hour shifts, with real potential to grow. 

• Permanent part-time with full National Employment Standards entitlements. 

• SCHADS Level 5.1, $42.34 an hour. 

• As a public benevolent institution, we can also offer salary packaging of up to $15,900 tax free. [The full position description is here - coming.]

​​
 

Our successful coordinator will be able to build relationships easily, spot opportunities others miss, be comfortable in business systems (and learning if needed), and make real progress in tightly limited hours. An active Christian faith and participation in the life of a local church are genuine requirements of the position.
