About the organisation
The best way to describe our organisation is to outline the two philanthropic training programs that we run.
(1) The Helping Hands Program (www.helpinghandsprogram.com.au) is a truly unique opportunity for organisations to get involved with a worthwhile cause at the same time as super-charging employee engagement. More than just a team building or training activity, participants in our programs build prosthetic hands that are then donated to amputee landmine victims throughout the developing world. The activity empowers every participant in just a few hours to make a real and lasting contribution and in doing so reminds people what it feels like to be engaged in a truly purposeful activity.
(2) The Water Works Program (www.waterworksprogram.com) is a similar program, but participants are empowered to build and donate a water filtration system for refugees living in Uganda (having fled their homeland to find a new life in relative safety).
This is a job where you will truly be able to advance your career as a learning and development professional, while still making a massive difference in the world.
About the role
In this entry-level position you will initially learn how to prepare for and deliver our philanthropic training events. The two activities that we run are truly world-class philanthropic learning experiences. We are the founders and operators of both the Helping Hands Program (www.helpinghandsprogram.com.au) and Water Works Program (www.waterworksprogram.com). Both activities have been delivered all over the world and received incredibly positive feedback.
Since our training programs involve people building life-changing products for people in need (either Prosthetic Hands or Water Filtration systems) it takes a lot of careful planning to make our events amazing . Once you’ve learned about how to pack and prepare our training materials, you’ll learn about logistical planning with customers, then pretty soon we expect that you’ll be able to plan and prepare for an entire event by yourself. That will primarily require both good customer service skills, exceptional attention to detail, and some basic administrative skills thrown in for good measure.
The role includes a good balance between computer-based and physically active work. So if you’re looking for a job where your eyes won’t be glued to a screen all day this could be the perfect job for you 🙂
The role would particularly suit a recent graduate who is interested in supercharging their post-university career in business, learning and development, applied psychology, or human resources. However, we are open to all applicants. Please do not let your career background or educational qualifications stop you from throwing your hat in the ring for this opportunity!
If you are passionate about what we do and it feels as though you are a good fit for us (and we are a good fit for you), then we will be willing to train you up with all of the knowledge and skills that you’ll need to succeed. Prior experience in corporate training, philanthropy, team-building, or fast-paced office environments might be handy, but experience is not essential.
