Job description
We require a super organised, warm and friendly volunteer who can commit to checking and replying to their
fws emails every working day of the week, as they respond to the
fws president's varied and occasionally frantic requests.
fws's President's PA will enjoy logging into their inbox each day and addressing a range of queries from drafting replies to
fws supporters to making local phone calls that the
fws president, while in Tanzania, clearly can't make.
This efficient PA will so be responsible for collating and emailing a weekly report of
fws activities in Australia for the
fws president. Doing so, this PA will develop a good working relationship with
fws founders, Shona, Kelsey, Edwina and Anne as she phones them for their weekly updates.
While these will be the main tasks of the PA, they could vary at any time, and are in fact, likely to vary considerably once
fws president returns to Australian shores.
If you organise like a demon, fire off the friendliest, most informative emails with a dash of the hand, love the odd challenge of a crazy-random request, think meeting an agreed deadline is a matter of life and death, are obsessed with checking your inbox daily and would like to support a busy president, who is a strange dichotomy of forgetful and efficient, but seeks all-over-it efficiency from you, then you're a brave soul about to have a lot of fun.
