The Role
The corporate services team at Hammond Park SC works collaboratively to provide a strong, responsive administration service that supports staff, students, parents/guardians and the wider College community. School Officers form a key component of this team, working to perform a number of student-related activities such as data entry, enrolments, publications and promotions, event scheduling, receipting of contributions/charges and word processing. As the first point of contact for our College, members of the corporate services team are passionate about excellence in customer service delivery. They use their communication skills, empathy, patience, problem-solving skills and knowledge of Department of Education policies/procedures to ensure every interaction is positive and every outcome is successful.
School Officers at Hammond Park SC should be flexible, willing to move between duties/portfolios to meet the needs of the College. As such, suitable applicants should have the desire, capacity and confidence to be upskilled in, and to support, a broad range of corporate services functions – including (but not limited to); reception, student transition, marketing and event support, student wellbeing (student services), attendance and enrolment processing, supporting the College Leadership Team, purchasing and financial processing, asset and resource management and human resource support. We are seeking applications from individuals who can bring their flexibility, passion for service delivery, sense of humour, organisational skills and attention to detail to our team.
Experience in the use of key administrative software – such as the SIS Integris, RM Billing, RM Finance, Compass, Human Resource Management Information System (HRMIS) and Passtab is desirable but not essential.
The College invests heavily in staff support, underpinned by our priorities of wellbeing, excellence and relationship. In the corporate services team, a strong culture of improvement is maintained where every staff member is encouraged to be innovative, develop curiosity and be courageous in their work. We seek to connect and form strong relationships with all members of our College community. Applicants who align with this vision are encouraged to apply.
