Up to $110k on offer + perks

This is a dynamic position suited to an experienced EA who thrives on variety from supporting strategic priorities and leadership activity through to ensuring the smooth delivery of day-to-day operations. You will play a key role in bringing structure, clarity, and momentum to a fast-paced and evolving environment.

Importantly, this is not a traditional “gatekeeper” role. You will work in close partnership with the Deputy, Executive Team, and broader school community, enabling connection, coordination, and progress.

About the Role

As a trusted partner to the deputy, you will:

Manage a complex and evolving schedule with foresight and sound judgement
Support both strategic initiatives and the practical, day-to-day needs
Prepare and refine high-quality communications and correspondence
Act as a central point of coordination across the Executive Team
Oversee planning rhythms and contribute to the whole-school calendar
Track priorities, actions, and deliverables to ensure momentum is maintained

This role spans both the “big picture” and the detail, from significant whole-school events and leadership coordination to the essential, sometimes routine tasks that keep everything running smoothly.
