Who we are looking for - Ideally applicants who are:

• Highly organised, accurate and able to manage competing priorities in a busy school environment.
• Provide warm, professional and responsive customer service and understands the important role the front office plays in shaping the experience of students, families and visitors.
• Shows initiative, solves problems and anticipates what needs to be done rather than always waiting for direction.
• Are digitally confident, adaptable and able to quickly learn and establish new administrative systems and processes.
• Work collaboratively, communicates effectively and contributes positively to a high-functioning team.
• Values clear, efficient and consistent systems and takes pride in accuracy, organisation and attention to detail.
