Since the 1950s, the Feilding Civic Centre has been the beating heart of our community - home to everything from badminton and basketball to brass band concerts, craft markets, business awards, theatre shows, carols by candlelight, and much more.

We're a place where memories are made, achievements are celebrated, and the community comes together.

Now, we're looking for a proactive, organised, and community-minded Event Coordinator & Administration Support to join our small team and help us deliver the events and experiences that make Feilding special.

About the Role

If you love seeing your work come to life in real-time and enjoy being part of something bigger, you'll fit right in.

What You'll Be Doing:
  • Supporting the Venue Manager to plan and deliver a wide variety of events
  • Coordinating event logistics and assisting with onsite delivery
  • Helping ensure the venue looks great - including hands-on setup and pack down
  • Managing admin tasks: event plans, reports, data entry, quotes, record-keeping, and phone enquiries
  • Liaising with clients, contractors, and community groups
  • Assisting with funding and grant applications
What You'll Bring:
  • Event coordination experience (essential)
  • Previous administration experience (essential)
  • Excellent time management and organisational skills
  • Confidence working with Microsoft 365 (MYOB experience a bonus)
  • Physical ability to support event setup and equipment handling
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Ability to work both independently and as part of a small team
  • A flexible, can-do attitude and willingness to roll up your sleeves
  • A genuine passion for community and people
Why You'll Love Working With Us:
  • Flexible on-site working hours
  • A fun, relaxed, and supportive team environment
  • A role that's both office-based and hands-on - never boring!
  • The chance to make a meaningful, visible impact in your local community

If you're ready to bring your energy, initiative, and community spirit to a role you can truly make your own, we'd love to hear from you.
