About Us
Emerging Futures Collaborative Limited (EFCL) is a not-for-profit organisation, established to support and serve Catholic Religious Institutes in transition across Australia.
EFCL’s mission reflects the values of respect, integrity, collaboration, deep listening and accountability. These core values are central to interactions of EFCL and affirm the inherent value of the religious charism and freedom of decision-making of each Religious Institute we serve.
EFCL services to Religious Institutes include transition support, health and well-being coordination, administration, and community coordination. EFCL assists Religious Institutes in navigating change while also honouring their legacy and mission.
About the Role
Reporting to the Executive Director, and working collaboratively with your job-share colleague, you will play a vital role in ensuring Religious Institutes (known as our “Service Partners”) have a positive experience when engaging with EFCL and are satisfied with the services and support they receive.
Using your exceptional people skills, you will manage relationships with a defined set of Service Partners, and work in partnership with their staff to facilitate service delivery, and oversee the Service Partner journey. You will prepare annual Service Partner reports and contribute to Board, Executive Director or governance reporting as required.
As an experienced problem-solver, you will identify, manage and resolve service issues, and contribute to the development of service frameworks, processes, templates and practices that support continuous improvement in EFCL’s service quality, responsiveness and mission alignment.
In collaboration with your EFCL colleagues, including the Mission Facilitator and Engagement Facilitator, and with your knowledge of mission and religious institutes contexts, you will facilitate formation events and activities for Religious Institutes.
The role is a permanent part-time role, 22.8 hours a week, to be worked over three or four days. Some flexibility exists with regards to the days and daily hours to be worked, and the specific days/hours will be discussed and agreed on with the successful candidate prior to commencement of employment.
The successful candidate will work from home and ideally be based in Melbourne or Sydney. Interstate and intrastate travel to attend meetings with Service Partners and EFCL colleagues will be required from time to time.
