About You: To be successful in this role, you will have: Experience in the Disability Sector: A keen understanding of various housing and accommodation types for individuals with disabilities is essential. Property Vacancy Management Experience: While experience in property management (ideally rental properties) is beneficial, it is not mandatory. Strong Interpersonal Skills: You’ll be engaging with a wide range of stakeholders in a professional and personable manner. Customer-Focused Mindset: Strong listening, communication, and customer service skills are essential. Tech-Savviness: Comfortable using technology to streamline processes and improve efficiency.

We celebrate the amazing differences we all bring to our work and we actively ensure that everyone feels safe and supported in our workplaces. We welcome and encourage applications from everyone and our hiring decisions will never be based on things such as your gender identity, disability, age, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation or cultural background - because they simply aren’t relevant to doing an awesome job (and you are protected from this kind of discrimination under Australian law). #J-18808-Ljbffr
