The Opportunity

St Francis of Assisi College is seeking a warm, capable, and highly organised Office Administrator / School Receptionist to be the welcoming face of our school.

Working under the direction of the Principal (or delegate) with minimal day-to-day supervision, you'll be the first point of contact for students, families, staff, and visitors, and a key part of keeping our front office running smoothly.

This is a hands-on, people-focused role for someone who thrives on variety, enjoys solving problems on the spot, and takes pride in delivering a professional, caring service to a busy school community.

Key responsibilities include;

- Providing a professional, friendly front-of-house experience, managing the flow of people, phone calls, and enquiries through the school office
- Delivering high-level administrative support to school leaders, including diary and calendar management, correspondence, minute-taking, and preparation of meeting papers
- Coordinating enrolments, recruitment support (job listings, interview scheduling, applicant communication), and new staff/volunteer inductions
- Maintaining accurate student and staff records, generating reports, and preparing Government and Statutory Authority returns
- Managing Working with Children Clearance and Volunteer Register compliance in line with CESA requirements
- Acting as a designated First Aid Officer, maintaining First Aid facilities, records, and student Medical Emergency Plans

- Is confident using Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook) and can quickly pick up new systems and databases

St Francis of Assisi College is a College on the rise — small enough that you're known by name,



and ambitious enough to offer real scope for professional growth, leadership and innovation.

- Backed by Catholic Education South Australia (CESA), including the SA Catholic Schools Enterprise Agreement, Country Teaching Incentives for regional roles, and access to CESA's qualified learning programs
- A distinctive College culture built around our House System and Rowing Program, plus the Riverland's relaxed pace, riverside living and affordable cost of living
- Genuine opportunities to help shape our school culture and current College traditions as part of a still‑growing school community

St Francis of Assisi College is a young and growing Years 7–12 Catholic secondary college in the heart of South Australia's Riverland region.

Opened in 2022 and guided by our motto Growing in Harmony, we are inspired by the life of St Francis of Assisi and grounded in the theology of Integral Ecology — a deep respect for the dignity of every person, for community, and for the earth we share.

Every student at Assisi is known, valued and welcomed, and our staff sit at the heart of that promise.

As a College still finding its shape, we offer our people genuine opportunities to lead, innovate and build lasting traditions, within a close‑knit, mission‑driven community proud of its Catholic identity and its connection to the Riverland.

Catholic Education South Australia is committed to ensuring the safety, wellbeing and dignity of all children and young people. Screening requirements apply.
