Are you an organisational superstar who thrives in fast‑paced environments and loves making things happen? Do you want your work to genuinely impact the lives of older residents, young people, families, and our broader community?

If you’re ready for a role filled with variety, purpose, and people who care — this is your opportunity.

Why You’ll Love This Role

At the City of Playford, every day is different and everyday matters. As our new Business Support Officer, you’ll be the powerhouse behind two of our most community focused departments: Ageing & Inclusion and Families & Young People.

This is more than an admin role, you’ll be the connector, problem solver, organiser, and trusted right hand to our Senior Managers. Your work will help ensure important programs, services, and community initiatives run smoothly and make a real difference.

What You’ll Get To Do

• Keep the departments running like clockwork with top tier executive administration support
• Own the calendar from scheduling, reshuffling, and coordinating like a pro
• Create polished documents, reports, presentations, and communications
• Manage inboxes and correspondence with confidence and care
• Be the friendly, reliable point of contact for internal staff, Elected Members, community members, and stakeholders
• Support teams with grant processes, data entry, projects, purchase orders, marketing materials, and more
• Play a key role in Council and Committee reporting from research to drafting to ensuring everything is on track
• Contribute to meaningful community focused work every single day

Who You Are

You’re someone who brings energy, initiative, and exceptional organisational skills. You love staying one step ahead, you take pride in doing things well, and you genuinely enjoy supporting others to succeed.

You’ll shine in this role if you have:

• Strong administration/PA experience in a busy environment
• High work ethic and able to work independently
• Excellent communication skills and a professional, warm approach
• A knack for prioritising and solving problems before they become problems
• High attention to detail and a passion for doing things properly
• The ability to navigate sensitive matters with discretion and maturity
• A collaborative mindset where you enjoy being part of a positive, committed team

Why Playford?

Because we’re growing fast. And as we grow, so do the opportunities to make meaningful, lasting impact.

At Playford, our values guide everything we do: Full Disclosure, Do No Harm, and Attend to the Needs of Others. That means open communication, ethical practice, and a genuine commitment to community wellbeing.

You’ll join a supportive, engaged organisation where your contribution truly matters.
