 Database Support & Administration

• 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)
