The Ian Potter Foundation is advertising for a program officer. (See the position description in full on their home page).

It is very much an administration role administering the grant-making process for the travel and conference program areas, assisting program managers with the grant-making process, maintaining a database and preparing board papers and correspondence.

Pay is up to $50,000 + 9% super.

Applications close 4 February.

This sounds like a great entry level role for someone who wants to get to know about how trusts and foundations work, bearing in mind that all organisations have their own corporate culture.

I found this through ProBono Australia on twitter (@ProBononews).
