About Shelter WA

Shelter WA is the peak body in Western Australia for the community housing and homelessness sectors. Our vision is that all people living in Western Australia have a home that enables them to thrive.  We’re a small, close-knit team – despite having grown significantly over the last year – who are all passionate about making a difference to those who have experienced, continue to experience or are at risk of homelessness. We’re now looking for an energetic and experienced Events and Marketing Coordinator who can harness and manage all our event administrative requirements so we can deliver professional and valuable workshops and events to benefit our sector.

About the Role

As our calendar of events and training continue to grow, we are now seeking a new Events and Marketing Coordinator to be responsible for their day-to-day administration and coordination. You will be publishing prepared content to our digital marketing platforms, including social media and website, booking venues and catering, and liaising with speakers, facilitators, sponsors, and participants. You understand that activities post event is as important as those pre-event so you will support post event marketing activity and communication and ensure post event surveys are conducted and results collated for the continuous improvement of our events.

Our flagship event is Homelessness Week which takes place in August each year. You will be supporting this week long event, which is a series of individual events, by providing your amazing administration and event coordinator skills as part of that event team.

Our members are a key stakeholder so you will be onboarding new members and involved in marketing activity to grow our membership base. It is envisaged that member networking events will become a key part of our event calendar in the future and you’ll be part of the team supporting this initiative.

About You

You will have an abundance of energy and commitment, the ability ‘juggle’ multiple demands at the same time and enjoy finding solutions to niggly challenges. You are an experienced Events Coordinator with highly developed administration skills that support you in delivering an event on time. You value developing positive working relationships with both external and internal stakeholders. Our ideal candidate will be motivated by Shelter WA’s purpose, and will take pride in the quality of your work, and have a positive ‘can-do attitude’.

You’re a team player and recognise the importance of this role is to ensure Shelter WA is delivering quality and valuable events.  Shelter WA is fast paced and results matter, so the ability to understand and implement instructions, be self-motivated, and work efficiently are keys to success in this role. Essential criteria for this role include:

• Demonstrated experience in coordinating events in a busy, results driven, and continuously improving environment (minimum two years experience),
• Exceptional organisational skills to use initiative, coordinate concurrent activities and manage competing demands, meeting timeframes, and timely reporting,
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision and self-manage to achieve goals while being a strong team player,
• Highly developed written and verbal communication skills,
• Marketing experience with a demonstrated ability to create, distribute, and manage events related content,
• Demonstrated competency in the use of various software, applications, and databases including Microsoft Office, Sharepoint, Zoom, Teams, event management software, and ideally Canva. The confidence to learn new technologies will be highly regarded
• Some knowledge using stakeholder engagement programs such as Mailchimp would be highly regarded, as would foundational creative skills in social media and photography, and
• An ability to support and operate within Shelter WA’s vision and values.
