- Manage all incoming correspondence (calls, emails, and apps) with a high degree of literacy and professional etiquette.
- **Vendor & Facility Support:**
- Coordinate with external suppliers and maintenance teams to ensure the campus remains in pristine condition.
- **Financial Administration:**
- Support basic invoicing, petty cash management, and fee collection in coordination with the central finance team.

- You should possess:
- **Experience:**
- 3+ years in a senior administrative or front-of-house role.
- Experience in premium education, luxury hospitality, or private healthcare is highly preferred.

- **Technical Savvy:**
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and experience with school management software (e.g., Seesaw, Toddle, or similar) is a plus.
- **Disposition:**
- A calm, proactive "can-do" attitude.
- You must be able to multitask in a vibrant, child-centered environment without losing your attention to detail.
- **Discretion:**
- An absolute commitment to maintaining the confidentiality of student and family data.
Why Join This Team?
- While the name of the institution remains confidential, the successful candidate will enjoy:
- A competitive salary package.
- A beautiful, high-design working environment.
- The chance to be part of a team shaping the future of early years education.
