Administration Manager
HSS/Youth DirectionsAdministration Manager
Jan. 2001 - Sep. 2005As Administration Manager for Youth Directions Hunter Support Services I was responsible for a key customer focused role. Leading a small customer focused team, I played an integral role in the overall administration and future direction of the organisation as well as the day to day management of the offices, staff and associated systems. I took ownership of these responsibilities and managed the daily needs of six commercial and thirty residential properties. I also looked after internal clients by arranging events, itineraries and travel.

I am a strong team motivator, for example, I successfully developed and implemented various policies to ensure consistency amongst over 200 staff operating across six locations. I assisted with risk management strategies and the quality assurance program for the Office of Children’s Guardian. I also spearheaded and coordinated the delivery of an EOI to DoCS, resulting in a professional service delivery model proposal. All of these achievements were a result of my ability to operate in a busy team and challenging environment and continuing to meet business outcomes. As part of the Executive Management Team at Youth Directions, I was required to play a diverse and integral role in the overall administration and future direction of the company as well as the day to day management of the offices, staff and associated systems. This required working with a range of different stakeholders and meeting different needs in a busy environment.
