  • Attend and represent our client at events, expos and stakeholder forums

  • Use CRM systems to track engagement, referrals and outcomes
  • Promote our client’s mission and community presence through platforms like LinkedIn

What You Need: 

  • Must live locally close to Geelong, Ballarat & Western Victoria Suburbs
  • You’re a self-starter and can work autonomously
  • Some experience in NDIS, disability, aged care or community services is essential
  • Above all, you are a confident relationship builder
  • Sales backgrounds are considered but you need to demonstrate the ability to build long term, not just transactional relationships
  • Valid driver’s licence and reliable vehicle
