About the role

At the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, we believe in building a vibrant and sustainable community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

As a Personal Assistant, you will play a pivotal role in supporting the Director and Executive Leadership Team to deliver the strategic community plan and shape the future of Kalgoorlie-Boulder. You will support the Director by coordinating directorate teams and activities and performing day-to-day personal assistant duties such as diary management, preparing documentation/reports, assisting with risk management, corporate performance responsibilities, Council reports, meeting administration, and oversight of financial management systems.
