We are seeking to establish a pool of School Officers for permanent and fixed term, full-time and part-time vacancies which may arise during the 2027 school year. Appointments may be offered at any time for vacancies that commence during this period.

Gilmore College is a progressive and inclusive Years 7 to 12 secondary school where we hold high aspirations for every student and believe that through meaningful connections and quality teaching and learning, all students can realise their full potential. We provide a supportive and well-rounded education that equips young people with the knowledge, skills and resilience to adapt, contribute and flourish in an ever-changing world.

Our college community is guided by our SOAR values - Supportive, Aspirational, Organised and Resilient which shape our culture and guide our behaviour.

At Gilmore College, we value the vital contribution of our staff in creating a positive and effective learning environment.

The Role

Gilmore College is seeking proactive, adaptable and customer-focused School Officers to join our administration team. While opportunities may arise across Reception, Human Resources, Student Services, Vocational Education and Training (VET), and other corporate services areas, we anticipate opportunities within Student Services, supporting students, families and staff with the day-to-day operations of the College.

Suitable applicants will ideally display strong administrative, organisational and communication skills, the ability to manage competing priorities, maintain confidentiality and work collaboratively in a busy school environment. A positive attitude, attention to detail and willingness to learn are desirable.

Experience using Department of Education systems, including HRMIS, RAMS, RM Finance, SIS Integris, RM Billing and Compass, would be an advantage but is not essential. Applicants are not expected to know all systems or administrative areas, with a willingness to learn and work flexibly to meet the needs of the College highly valued.
