You’ll bring warmth, accuracy and calm problem-solving to every interaction, while working with digital, finance, marketing and fundraising teams to keep things moving. There’s plenty of variety, opportunities to learn and space to bring creativity and fresh ideas to the way we support our community and the Royal Children’s Hospital.

Deliver calm, supporter-centered service and operational backup during peak Good Friday Appeal periods.

Who are you?

Strong written and verbal communication skills with a warm, empathetic, and sensitive tone for diverse stakeholders.

Comfortable using Google Workspace, MS Office, and CRM tools, with experience in Salesforce, Funraisin, or Canva being a strong plus.

High level of organisational skill and accuracy when managing data entry, shared inbox queues, and administrative workflows.

Ability to triage incoming requests efficiently, follow standard operating procedures, and know when to escalate complex issues.

Composed, adaptable,



and focused during high-volume, fast-paced Appeal periods.

Enjoys working across digital, finance, and marketing teams to build a connected supporter experience.

Passionate about supporting the Royal Children's Hospital community and upholding the values of the Good Friday Appeal.
