About us:

Our school staff work hard at being a cohesive, effective team.

This often means taking on extra responsibilities to ensure jobs are completed on time; from coordinating lunch-time activities to organising the Science Fair and doing playground duty every day.

Staff have the time and opportunity to build and sustain relationships with many students when they see them so regularly.

At Minden, everybody knows everybody! We invest time and effort into making sure we know not only about each other, but we know about our students and their families. Building strong relationships ensures teachers and parents work together in a supportive manner.

Your opportunity:

• Operate autonomously to undertake day to day office procedures within well-defined policies (e.g. reception, arranging appointments, correspondence, maintaining school records and general administration); and utilise information and management systems (e.g. OneSchool) to support effective and efficient reporting and administration.
• Undertake the day to day supervision and management of school support staff, including monitoring workloads and performance (working in collaboration with the Principal for any difficult performance management situations); identifying workforce capability requirements; and role modelling performance standards.
• Oversee the signatories/approval of timesheets, leave applications, rosters, and arrange relief for school support staff; and organise, undertake and coordinate the recruitment, induction and training of school support staff.
