THE COMPANY
Lotus People are proud to be partnering with a leading independent boys' school with a long-standing reputation for excellence, tradition and academic achievement. This is a unique opportunity to join the Senior School academic team at a busy time of year, playing a key role in supporting the school's academic leadership through a critical assessment period.

THE ROLE
A Senior School Academic Administrator position, working closely with the Head of Curriculum and Assessment and the broader academic leadership team. This is very much a data entry and administration-focused role rather than a front-of-house position. You will be the go-to support person helping the leadership team process information, solve problems and keep the academic office running smoothly.

You will act as a right hand to the Head of Curriculum and Assessment, taking on tasks that free them up to focus on bigger-picture, whole-school priorities. There is also scope to take on more responsibility and build relationships across the academic leadership team for the right person who wants to grow into the role.

THE DUTIES

• Process and manage data relating to student assessments, trials and exams, including entering results into mark books
• Support the coordination of Year 11 and Year 12 exams, including organising catch-up exams for trials
• Assist with NESA-related administration, HSC processes and assessment documentation
• Prepare and format data so it can be easily consumed by Heads of Department and academic leadership
• Respond to emails and enquiries on behalf of the Head of Curriculum and Assessment
• Provide general administrative support to the Senior School academic leadership team
• Problem-solve day-to-day issues that arise in a busy academic office and escalate where appropriate
• Handle sensitive student and assessment data with strict confidentiality
• Support ad hoc projects and tasks as they arise during a busy period in the school calendar

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE
We are looking for a reliable, detail-oriented administrator who thrives in a fast-paced school environment.

You will:

• Have prior experience working in a school, ideally a senior school, with an understanding of NESA requirements, HSC exams and assessment processes
• Be proficient in Synergetic, EdVal, Consent2Go and Google Suite — experience with Synergetic in particular will be highly regarded
• Be highly organised with excellent attention to detail and a strong track record of accurate data entry
• Be adaptable and able to prioritise effectively in an unpredictable, fast-moving environment
• Be a confident communicator who is comfortable liaising with academic leadership and problem-solving on the spot
• Be reliable and take pride in getting the details right, even under pressure
• Hold a valid Working With Children Check (WWCC) – essential
