- **About the Role**_

Part-time and casual - 25 hours per week - 9am to 2pm

Scola represents a progressive model of education in the heart of Melville and we're looking to expand our team with an administration assistant. Our mission is to establish the next generation of young learners with the most exciting and engaging form of education so that they're prepared with lifelong skills for learning and living.

Our revolutionary approach to education includes a team of extremely qualified and professional teachers and assistants. For a class size of 30, we boast 3 kindergarten teachers and a number of qualified early childhood educators to support this approach.

As an administrative assistant, you will be responsible for ensuring that operations are organised, efficient and timely by providing support and clarity for teaching professionals and management. There are a few requirements for the position, as you will be working with young children:
1. You must have a warm, smiling face that makes every child feel special and loved.

2. You must be able to laugh at jokes that you don't understand, or you don't find funny. Child humour can be a confusing minefield to navigate.

3. You will have a little bit of quirkiness. If a child asks you to be the captain of a pirate ship, you will be the best pirate captain you can be.

4. You must be able to distribute hugs, as required.

5. Pretending to realistically eat play-dough creations is required - a skill that develops with experience.

6. You must be able to remain focused in environments with high noise levels.

7. The ability to remember the names of 30+ children, their parents, siblings, grandparents, pets and special toys is a key component of this job.

8. You must have an understanding that the small people you have a strong relationship with during the week, may utterly refuse to acknowledge you at the store. Your feelings must not easily be hurt.

9. You must be prepared for a lot of fun in the workplace. Laughter is something you can expect to engage in for a large part of your working day.

10. Finally, you must be prepared to feel loved, special, and important to many young children and their families. There is simply no other job like this one.

And then there's the other parts of the job - things like answering calls and taking messages; maintaining enrolments; bookkeeping and receipting duties; preparing timesheets and wages; and many more.

The benefits to the position are limitless - flexible working schedule, autonomy over the manner in which you complete your work, and a very pleasant working environment. The position is ideal for parents looking for work between school hours, and students looking to work around university schedules.
