Small school, big impact - lead enrolments and auditions in a key operational role at The Australian Ballet School

Full Time | The Australian Ballet School | Southbank

At The Australian Ballet School, we train dancers for the world stage. For every student who walks through our doors, that journey starts with a first enquiry, an audition, an offer… and that's where you come in.

We're looking for a Student Enrolments and Operations Manager to own the end-to-end enrolment experience for students and families, while helping keep the School's day-to-day operations, events and facilities running smoothly. With approximately 110 full-time students, The Australian Ballet School is a small, close-knit school - this is a genuinely hands‑on role where you'll own the function end to end, working closely with a small team where everyone pitches in.

The role

- Manage the full enrolment lifecycle - applications, auditions, offers, acceptances and re-enrolments - including communication with students, families and referring organisations
- Coordinate audition administration, scheduling and follow‑up, and prepare enrolment and statistical reporting
- Support planning and delivery of school events, including timelines, logistics and staffing, alongside day‑to‑day office management
- Support families with information on programs, entry requirements and key dates, and represent the School at open days and information sessions
- Maintain accurate, confidential student records, liaising with the RTO Lead to ensure compliance
- Provide reception coverage as part of a rotating roster
- Champion the School's commitment to child safety in all aspects of the role

What you'll bring

- Demonstrated experience in student enrolments,



admissions or client services, ideally within an educational environment (secondary or RTO admissions)
- A Certificate IV in Training and Assessment (or equivalent VET qualification), plus a tertiary qualification in administration, education, business or a related field
- Proficiency with student management or CRM systems, strong data entry skills, and an understanding of compliance in an educational or vocational setting
- Experience coordinating events or projects, including logistics and stakeholder liaison

How you operate

- You bring precision, discretion and consistency to everything you do, even when juggling competing priorities
- You're a natural communicator - students, families and colleagues trust you to be responsive, qualified and approachable
- You're genuinely happy to roll up your sleeves; in a small team, that means stepping outside your core duties to help out, and you see that as part of the job

Why you'll love it

This role sits at the heart of the student and family experience - often the first and most lasting impression of the School. It offers genuine variety across enrolments, events, compliance and operations, close collaboration with artistic, academic and administrative teams, and the chance to see the direct impact of your work in a small, globally respected institution.

Requirements

- Working with Children Check (or willingness to obtain)
- National Police Check
- Capacity to work outside standard hours where required

Applications close: 30 August 2026

*Please note, interviews for this role will be held the week commencing 7 September 2026 – ideally, we would like the successful candidate to commence 5 October 2026 in line with the first day of Term 4.
