disability service, we’re a possibility service!
Are you an experienced Executive Assistant who thrives in a
purpose driven environment and takes pride in enabling strong leadership and
governance?
At Cara, our CEO and Deputy CEO are widely respected for the
way they lead, grounded in our values, deeply committed to our people,
promoting and advocating for endless possibilities for our clients and
genuinely inspiring in their approach. This role offers a rare opportunity to
work closely alongside them, supporting not only their day-to-day effectiveness
but also contributing to the governance, risk, and operational excellence of
the organisation.
We are seeking a highly capable, detail-oriented
professional who is as passionate about culture and values as they are about
precision, organisation, and impact.

ensure organisational priorities are delivered with pace, accuracy, and sound
judgement, supporting effective executive decision making and strong governance
outcomes.
