Need a Hand Behind the Scenes? SociaLink Office Support Can Help

Running a community organisation often means wearing a lot of hats – and sometimes, there just aren’t enough hours in the day. That’s where SociaLink Office Support (SOS) comes in.

Whether you’re buried under admin, stuck with a clunky CRM system, or just don’t know where to start with writing policies and procedures, Jana Hood is here to help. With expertise in everything from data entry and bookkeeping to website updates, system set-up and even health & safety documentation, Jana brings both practical skills and a calm, can-do attitude to every job.

Organisations have appreciated the help with funding applications in particular. Between Tracy Stockman, our Finance and Funding Adviser, and Jana, who can support the writing and preparation, we’ve got you covered from both sides.

 
Backed by Real-World Experience

Jana’s not just great with spreadsheets and systems – she brings years of leadership, operational, and tech experience to the table. Her background includes roles as a Systems & Integrations Specialist, Business Owner and Consultant, Chief of Operations/National Operations Manager, and General Manager/Interim CEO. She’s especially skilled at solving tech issues, recommending the right tools for the job, and setting up systems that actually make life easier. She understands what it takes to run an organisation, and more importantly, how to make things run smoothly behind the scenes.

 
Expert Help at a Fraction of the Cost

What makes this service even more remarkable is that it’s available to community organisations at highly subsidised, reasonable hourly rates. The level of expertise Jana offers would normally cost hundreds of dollars per hour in the business world – but thanks to SociaLink’s support, local organisations can access this help without breaking the bank, as little as $20/hour.

 
Real Support That Makes a Real Difference

Client feedback:

“COLAB recently worked with Jana to change over our systems. All her information and training was easy to follow and clear to understand. She was easy to get a hold of if we had any issues or questions. It was a pleasure to work with her. Thank you for doing an amazing job. We appreciated all your hard work.” – Rebecca West, COLAB

 

“SociaLink Office Support is great! It saved our organisation both time and money…the service is far more than admin support. We had tech issues that we had been struggling with for months that Jana solved in a matter of hours. A++” – Amy Board, Mana Kai Mana Ora (WBOP Kai Resilience)

 

More Than Admin Support

SOS isn’t just about ticking boxes. It’s about freeing up your time so you can focus on the work that matters most – supporting your community. Jana understands the needs of not-for-profits and community groups and offers tailored, practical support that fits your goals and budget.

From recommending the right tech tools to streamlining your systems or simply clearing your admin backlog, SOS is designed to make your life easier.
