The Islamic Council of Victoria:

The Islamic Council of Victoria (ICV) is the peak body for Victorian Muslims, representing more than 85 member organisations across Melbourne and regional Victoria.

The ICV’s vision is to build a better community for all Australians through the empowerment of Muslims.

The Position:

The ICV’s City Mosque is open 7 days a week for daily prayers, Jumu’ah, classes, spiritual support and community events. The Caretaker ensures the Mosque remains welcoming, safe, secure and well‑maintained for all worshippers and visitors.

The role combines operational and event support, community engagement, facilities care, and security.

This is an in office role, worked Monday to Friday. Occasional work outside these days is required – including evenings during Ramadan to manage nightly iftars and related operations, and weekend or public-holiday support for major events as needed. The Caretaker may also be required to assist with other ICV matters as they arise, including the mosque, off‑site storage facilities or events.

The Caretaker reports to the Chief Executive Officer, works within ICV’s established procedures and guidelines, and refers non‑routine matters to ICV Management. Day to day, the Caretaker works closely with the Head Imam and ICV staff and volunteers on the Mosque’s activities and operations.

Responsibilities:





Operational and Event Support

Support the smooth running of daily prayers, Jumu’ah services, and mosque events.

Assist with Jumu’ah logistics (multiple sessions) – space preparation, liaison with Khateebs and volunteers, and clean‑up.

Work closely with the Head Imam to support the Mosque’s religious activities and calendar – daily prayers, Jumu’ah, classes, and Ramadan and Eid programs – taking guidance on religious matters and providing operational support.

Maintain good working relationships with Khateebs; Khateeb arrangements sit with the Head Imam – stay across them and help arrange an urgent replacement for Jumu’ah when needed.

Coordinate day‑to‑day with ICV staff on mosque operations, including bookings, program and event logistics, communications, and maintenance priorities.

Lead daily prayers when at the mosque and in the absence of an available Imam.

Coordinate mosque volunteers and provide practical leadership during Jumu’ah, Ramadan, Eid and other events, supporting crowd flow and safety at high‑traffic gatherings.

Prepare and pack down halls and rooms for functions, mosque programs and activities.

Set up and operate the Mosque’s basic building systems – PA and sound for prayers and khutbahs, lighting, heating and cooling – and report faults promptly.

Support ICV operational events,



including the Annual Dinner and Victorian Mosque Open Day.

Community Engagement

Act as a warm, welcoming first point of contact for worshippers, visitors and patrons for questions, requests, feedback or issues – answering or directing people where possible, and escalating to the Head Imam, ICV staff or other stakeholders as needed.

Engage with people experiencing homelessness or hardship who present at the Mosque – referring to relevant support services, and maintaining the safety and amenity of the premises in line with ICV guidance working with the Executive Assistant and ICV management.

Actively identify and proactively address measures to enhance the safety, comfort and functionality of the Mosque, seeking Management approval as required.

Cleaning and Facilities Care

Serve as the Mosque’s primary cleaner: hands‑on daily cleaning is a core part of this role, with the Mosque clean and prayer‑ready ahead of the five daily prayers and especially before and after Jumu’ah.

Maintain cleanliness of all mosque spaces – prayer areas, ablution/wudu facilities, toilets, kitchen, offices, walkways and common areas – to the highest standard, in line with Islamic requirements and OH&S; standards.

Follow a Management‑approved cleaning schedule of daily, weekly and periodic tasks, and arrange recurring deeper cleans of carpets and high‑traffic areas.

Keep ablution areas and toilets stocked, monitor stock levels, and place and manage orders for cleaning supplies and equipment, keeping the ICV Office informed.

Keep external paths, laneways and entrances clear of litter and debris, and manage waste disposal, including emptyi
