An opportunity to make your mark amongst this small team of passionate Directors in this secretary role! Candidates must be located in Australia and be available to travel to Newcastle and/or Sydney.

About Corethics In its 5th year of operation, Corethics is focused on solutions for water depletion and pollution (chemical) in Bali, Indonesia with our Board residing in Newcastle and Sydney. Our primary function is fundraising, education, and advocacy in Australia. We are fortunate to have an Advisory Board to support our growth which you will have the benefit of working with these incredibly talented people from across the world.

About you

You have become an expert leader in your field and are now ready to share your invaluable knowledge and skills for the greater good. You will have a proven record in either international or community development, environmental and social impact and have the skill set to govern an independent all volunteer-run charity. You must have experience as a Secretary on the Board of a charity or incorporated association.

Ideally, you have at least 5 years of experience and hold a tertiary qualification in development/international relations and/or law/business and understand the challenges and opportunities that go with operating internationally. You must have a sound understanding of marketing, finance, legal obligations, and risk management in order to flourish in this role. We don't expect you to be an expert in all these areas but you must be confident in understanding, directing, approving, and making recommendations.

This role would suit someone who shares a passion for ethics in social and environmental impact. You are a collaborative person who is eager to devote your skills and energy to our small, not for profit Board (5). You must be well presented, a confident speaker, impeccable time management, and be willing to jump at opportunities to accelerate our organisation's purpose. This is not your average board role. Successful applicants have rigour, energy, and an entrepreneurial spirit, who is ready to roll up their sleeves to get Corethics onto a sustainable path.
