Ngā kōrero mō te tūranga Ngā - About the role

Join Te Kura Toi Tangata School of Education and play an important role supporting one of New Zealand’s leading education schools.

As School Administrator, you will be part of a professional and collaborative team providing a wide range of administrative services that contribute to the effective day-to-day running of the School. You will work closely with the School Manager, Head of School and academic staff to deliver seamless support across administration, finance, staff onboarding, committee servicing, event coordination and school operations.

This is a varied role where no two days are quite the same. You will coordinate meetings and logistics, support staff with University systems and processes, manage contract staffing administration, assist with financial processes and help maintain efficient systems that support teaching and research activities.

This is a permanent, part-time role (0.6 FTE 22.5 hours per week) based at our Hamilton campus. Flexibility to increase hours during peak periods is required.

Salary will be in the range of $73,235 to $87,024 per annum pro rata, depending on the skills, knowledge and experience you bring.
