Data Collection and Optimisation Project

Vic Park Community Centre is a vibrant community hub that delivers a diverse range of programs, services and venue hire opportunities for residents and organisations. Committed to strengthening community connection, participation and wellbeing, the Centre is continually looking for ways to maximise its impact while making the most effective use of its resources.

Vic Park Community Centre is seeking an experienced professional with expertise in data management, social impact evaluation, business process improvement, systems integration or automation to review and optimise the centre’s current data collection and reporting practices. The Centre currently gathers both quantitative and qualitative data from participants and hirers across multiple platforms and processes, creating significant manual handling and reporting workloads. This project will help identify opportunities to streamline systems, improve data quality and reduce the administrative efforts on staff.

This project will provide significant value to Vic Park Community Centre by creating a more efficient and effective approach to data management and reporting. Improved systems and processes will reduce the time staff spend on manual data handling, increase the Centre’s ability to support the community and free up valuable staff capacity to focus on service delivery and community engagement.

It is anticipated that this project may take up to two months to complete; however, we welcome your expertise and guidance regarding the timeline. To ensure participation aligns with volunteer entitlements, corporate volunteers will be asked to commit no more than 12 hours throughout the project.

The project may be completed either on-site at Vic Park Community Centre or off-site, depending on agreed arrangements.

Key action items include:

1. Review and map the data currently collected across the organisation.
2. Consult with staff to understand existing processes, reporting requirements and operational challenges.
3. Identify opportunities to improve efficiencies through better data management practices, system integration and automation.
4. Design a refreshed approach to collecting, compiling and reporting data.
5. Support implementation of recommended improvements, providing staff training and developing documentation to ensure long-term sustainability.

They are seeking an individual with experience in one or more of the following areas:

• Social impact evaluation and measurement
• Data collection, analysis and reporting
• Business process improvement
• Information systems and database management
• Automation and integration between platforms and datasets
• Change management and staff training

To apply

Vic Park Community Centre requires volunteers to hold a National Police Clearance and a Working with Children Check (WWCC), which will be arranged on your behalf.

If you are passionate about helping community organisations work smarter and achieve greater impact, your expertise and support would be highly valued in the success of this project.
