Administration Assistant Residential Services
Administration Assistant, Residential Services
Resthaven has been delivering exceptional aged care to South Australians since 1935. As a financially independent, not-for-profit organisation we provide the full spectrum of aged care services with genuine commitment to dignity, trust, and respect.
We're looking for a sharp, organised administrator to keep the Residential Services team running smoothly. If you're someone who takes satisfaction in getting the details right and genuinely enjoys supporting a team that does important work, this role is worth a look.
The Role
You'll work closely with the Executive Manager and Executive Assistant, providing day-to-day administrative support across the Residential Services team. The work is varied and no two weeks look the same. You'll be coordinating travel and accommodation for the team (bookings, follow-ups and invoicing), organising meetings, forums and events including catering and room set-up, and managing the annual team calendar. You'll also support new staff through onboarding and orientation, and assist the Accommodation Enquiries team and Chaplaincy committee as needed. Alongside all of that comes the usual administrative mix: maintaining databases and spreadsheets, reconciling credit card expenses, handling phone calls and keeping things ticking along behind the scenes.
What we're looking for
Essential
- Strong organisational and communication skills
- Solid experience in administration
- Confident across Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint)
- Comfortable working with people at all levels
- Able to juggle competing deadlines without dropping the ball
- Flexible and calm under pressure
Nice to have
- Experience in aged care or a similar environment
- Familiarity with onboarding and recruitment processes
- Current driver's licence
Why Resthaven
We're proud to be a workplace where our people are genuinely supported to develop, lead, and grow. At Resthaven, you'll join a team that takes its culture as seriously as its care standards: inclusive, respectful, and grounded in person-centred values.
This is a meaningful role within a team making a real difference to older South Australians. If you're a capable administrator who wants their work to matter, we'd like to hear from you.
Resthaven is committed to a diverse and inclusive workplace. We welcome applications from all backgrounds and lived experiences.
