  • Ability to work flexibly, including occasional evenings/weekends for events.
  • Experience with Microsoft Office or Google Workspace tools.
  • A friendly, reliable person with a passion for community and sport.

Contract details

  • This position is offered on an independent contractor basis (not as employment).
  • Payment is made by invoice.
  • It is expected that the role will average between 5 and 10 hours per week,  being on the higher side around event times.
