• Work with Team Leader to prepare reports relating to areas of responsibility (such as travel, purchasing and/or receipting).
• Provide general administrative support as required.

To be considered for this temporary assignment, you should demonstrate:

• Previous administration experience in an aligned role (ideally this will include experience with purchasing tasks such as raising purchase orders).
• Intermediate skills in MS Word, MS Excel and MS Outlook with confidence learning and using new computer systems (ideally you will also demonstrate some experience processing data using finance systems).
• Fast and accurate keyboarding skills.
• Demonstrated ability to work as part of a team, including reliability in organising individual workload to meet deadlines, commitments and client service standards.
• Well-developed communication and interpersonal skills including ability to effectively liaise, consult and negotiate with a diverse range of clients and work both independently and within a team.
• Availability to start within next 1-2 weeks, working Monday to Friday.

This is a great opportunity to work with a Qld Government department as part of our temporary team (casual hourly rate of $49.40). Apply today or contact our recruitment team on 3812 2920 (or email [e-mail]) if you have any questions.

We look forward to hearing from you!
