Remuneration: $47.95 Hourly Rate
Locations: Wyndham Cultural Centre, Encore Events Centre & Wyndham City Civic Centre (This role is required to work across multiple locations throughout the Wyndham Municipality)
About the role
The Concierge Bookings Officer is a vital frontline position within the Cultural Venues Unit, part of the Arts, Events and Cultural Venues Department in the Planning & Liveability Directorate. This role is responsible for delivering customer service, managing booking processes, and supporting venue operations across Wyndham’s premier cultural facilities—Encore Events Centre, Wyndham Cultural Centre, and the Civic Centre Function Rooms.
As a Concierge Bookings Officer, you will oversee a variety of tasks including responding to booking enquiries, coordinating hire documentation and insurance, facilitating inductions and managing CRM records.
Some roles may also assist with client site visits, event setup, or liaising with third parties (e.g. AV, catering). You’ll be expected to take initiative, maintain attention to detail, and ensure clear communication across both internal teams and external hirers.
The Cultural Venues team is collaborative and values open communication, accountability, and a high standard of service. Reporting directly to the Team Leader of Functions, each officer is responsible for contributing to shared team systems and may assist in onboarding or guiding new staff as needed.
Some travel between venues may be needed, particularly for cross-site collaboration or training.
This vacancy has arisen as part of team growth and internal movements, with one position linked to a staff secondment.
If you’re someone who thrives in a people-facing environment and the ability to shift priorities to cater to multiple events, we encourage you to apply.
