The Opportunity

Monash Residential Services (MRS) has an exciting opportunity to join the team as a Residential Life Coordinator.

The Residential Life Coordinator supports the strategic and operational objectives of Monash Residential Services (MRS) which includes undertaking relevant projects, events, campaigns, leadership development programs and online initiatives as measures to build a strong residential community. Working closely with the wider Residential Support team and various University stakeholders, the Coordinator will be key to implementing and ensuring the success of programs occurring within a residential community (i.e. a hall of residence and/or an accommodation complex which may be made up of a number of units, flats and houses).

As the successful candidate you will be responsible for providing a range of support services including: escalating safety and emergency incidents, assisting with project scoping and identifying deliverables, monitoring and reporting on project progress, developing and collating documents, ensuring alignment with the agreed standards and timeframes. Additionally, you will support events relevant to the wider MRS initiatives, including Orientation, themed events, regional day trips, Open Day, resident move-in day and other ad-hoc programs.

The ideal candidate will bring a strong educational background or substantial relevant skills and work experience. The role requires a degree in a relevant field with subsequent relevant experience with building community engagement, events, etc; or extensive experience in a tertiary residential support environment; or an equivalent combination of relevant experience and/or education/training.

This role requires you to work out of hours (typically 1.30pm - 8pm but will vary during key activities where staffing is required outside of these hours), including afternoons and weekends, in accordance with a rotational roster.
