Job description

The aim of our school is to ensure that every student is challenged to achieve their potential. In an ever changing world, our students need to develop skills, knowledge, attitudes, values and resilience to succeed on their lifelong learning journey.

Bardon State School is a small school set in expansive, green and leafy grounds, with a strong record of outstanding academic outcomes. Our size foster strong connections between students, staff and families, creating a supportive and inclusive environment where every student is known and valued.

Our whole school community is committed to “Learning and Growing' and supports this through a rich curriculum, a collaborative and dedicated staff, and a focus on learners and learning beyond the set curriculum. We provide opportunities for all as we strive to develop curious and confident learners.

Your opportunity:

An exciting opportunity exists to join our passionate and highly effective administration team as our AO2 Front Counter Administration Officer.

We are seeking a friendly, confident and capable person who can manage a varied workload, prioritise tasks effectively and contribute positively to the smooth running of our school. While the AO2 role at Bardon State School is clearly defined, the context of our small school may also provide opportunities for a candidate with aspirations towards a future Business Manager role to gain exposure to aspects of that work, should they wish.

As our front counter officer, you will often be the first point of contact for families and visitors to the school. You will play an important role in welcoming visitors, responding to phone and email enquiries, assisting families and staff, and helping ensure the school operates smoothly each day.

Responsibilities Include, but are not limited to:

• Reception and customer service, including face-to-face, phone and email enquiries
• Clerical, administrative and finance tasks
• Some first aid responsibilities
• Working closely with the Business Manager and Principal
• Supporting families, students and staff across a busy and varied school environment

About you:

• Friendly, approachable and articulate
• Calm, capable and professional
• Organised and able to prioritise a varied workload
• Confident with IT, including Microsoft Word and Excel
• A strong communicator and team player

Experience with Queensland state school systems, including OneSchool, would be an advantage; however, full training will be provided.

What we offer

• A friendly and supportive team environment
• Full training
• The opportunity to be part of a wonderful school community

We welcome all applicants to share any support needed to ensure our recruitment process is inclusive.

Applications remain current for 12 months from the closing date and may be considered for appointment to identical or similar vacancies within the Department.

Applications from recruitment agencies will not be accepted.
