About this job

We're looking for an exceptional Office Manager to join our fantastic team. If you're an experienced, cheerful, and highly confident professional who loves to laugh and thrive in a busy environment, then we’d love to hear from you. Pull up your sleeves and get involved!

The Role: More Than Just Administration! You will be the welcoming smile of our kura, the first person our whanau and visitors see and hear. If you read this with a smile, a "can-do" attitude, and a love for laughter, you're the person we need: ● Warmth & Whanau Focus: You'll be brilliant with our tamariki, ready to put a plaster on a grazed knee one moment and make a quick phone call because a child has left their lunch behind the next. ● The Ultimate Multi-Tasker: Can you click "enter" on your computer, catch a cascade of photocopying, and greet a parent - all at the same time? The pace can be fast, and the direction can change in a flash, so a flexible, layered approach is key. ● Communication King/Queen: You are a naturally great communicator—clear, friendly, and professional, whether in-person, on the phone, or via email. ● Tech Savvy & Confident: You must be highly confident with computers and administrative software. You'll keep the engine room humming smoothly!

Who Are You? ● Experienced: You have proven experience in an Office Manager or similar administrative role. ● Heart-Centred: You genuinely love being around children and have a naturally empathetic and supportive demeanour. ● A Professional with Personality: You maintain high professional standards but bring a great sense of humour to work every single day.

If this sounds like your dream role, and you want to join an amazing, supportive team that puts tamariki first, then apply now!

The role is based in Levin
