About Results

Results International (Australia) is a non-profit advocacy organisation working to create the political will to end poverty and advance a fairer, healthier and more sustainable world.

We work with communities, advocates, parliamentarians and partners to influence Australian policy and investment across global health, international development and other issues that have a significant impact on people experiencing poverty and disadvantage.

About the opportunity

We are looking for a reliable and detail-oriented volunteer to support our database and administration work, while gaining practical exposure to the broader work of an Australian advocacy organisation.

While the core of the role will focus on helping us maintain accurate, high-quality records, we want this to be a valuable learning and development opportunity too. The successful volunteer will have opportunities to gain insight into areas including campaign planning, policy and advocacy, fundraising and partnerships, events and government relations.

Where possible, we’ll invite you to relevant team meetings, campaign discussions and activities, giving you the chance to see how advocacy campaigns are developed and delivered, how organisations engage with decision makers, and how a small NGO works behind the scenes.

Good data and record keeping underpins all our work. It helps us maintain strong relationships with our advocates, supporters and partners, track our advocacy and fundraising activity, and understand the reach and impact of our campaigns.

This opportunity could particularly suit a student, recent graduate or someone looking to build practical experience in the not-for-profit, international development, advocacy or public policy sectors.

What you’ll be doing

Working alongside the Results team, you may support activities such as:

Entering and updating advocate and supporter data, including information collected through events, campaigns, sign-ups and other engagement activities
Keeping records of communications and engagement with advocates, supporters, partners and other stakeholders up to date
Ensuring funding applications, funder information and related correspondence are accurately recorded
Reviewing and updating existing database records to improve accuracy and consistency
Helping maintain the overall quality and integrity of our database and administrative systems
Supporting other light administrative and data-related tasks as required

About you

You don’t need to be an expert in databases to apply. We are looking for someone who:

Has strong attention to detail and takes pride in accurate work
Is organised, reliable and comfortable working independently
Is confident using common digital tools and systems
Is comfortable working with spreadsheets and entering or reviewing information
Understands the importance of confidentiality and privacy when handling personal and organisational information
Has an interest in advocacy, international development, global health, public policy or the not-for-profit sector

Experience with databases or CRM systems would be helpful but is not essential. Guidance and support will be provided.

Confidentiality and privacy

This role will involve access to personal and potentially sensitive information relating to our advocates, supporters, partners and organisational activities.

The successful volunteer will therefore be required to:

Sign a confidentiality agreement before commencing the role
Undertake a police check, with the cost fully covered by Results
Handle all personal and organisational information in accordance with Results’ privacy, confidentiality and data-handling requirements

We will provide appropriate guidance on securely accessing, handling and recording information as part of the volunteer’s induction.

What you’ll gain

Alongside practical experience in database management and administration, volunteering with Results will provide an opportunity to:

Build experience within an Australian NGO and advocacy environment
Gain exposure to campaign planning, policy and advocacy, fundraising, events and government relations
Learn how advocacy organisations engage communities and decision makers to influence policy
Participate in relevant team meetings, campaign discussions and activities where possible
Develop practical experience that can support future study or employment in the not-for-profit, international development, advocacy or public policy sectors

You’ll work alongside a small, collaborative team and gain an understanding of both the public-facing and behind-the-scenes work involved in delivering effective advocacy and campaigns.

Commitment

We are open to discussing a volunteering arrangement that works for both the volunteer and Results. The role can be undertaken flexibly and remotely, with regular support and check-ins from the Results team.
