Our client is a well-established education provider with a solid reputation and a values-led culture. The organisation offers a team-oriented working workplace, where employees are encouraged to contribute, take ownership and work closely across teams.
The College is seeking an experienced Accounts Receivable Officer following a resignation. This is an immediate-start, six-month temporary assignment with a genuine view to permanency. Candidates seeking a permanent appointment from the outset will also be considered.
The Role
Reporting within an eight-person finance team, you will take ownership of the debtors ledger. Approximately 70% of the role is focused on collections and debt recovery, requiring confident, respectful conversations with parents and guardians about outstanding school fees. Responsibilities include:
Proactively contacting parents and guardians regarding overdue school fees
Resolving payment queries and negotiating suitable payment arrangements
Owning and monitoring the debtors ledger and reporting collection progress
Preparing school fee invoices, adjustments and account maintenance
Allocating incoming payments and completing bank reconciliations
Investigating discrepancies and driving a measurable reduction in overdue balances
Your Background
This is a collections-led position rather than a traditional transactional AR role. To succeed, you will bring:
Demonstrated Accounts Receivable and collections experience
Confidence managing sensitive or difficult fee conversations in a polite yet firm manner
Strong ownership of a debtor book and a proactive debt-reduction mindset
School or broader education-sector experience, which is highly regarded
Experience with Synergetic and Power BI, which would be advantageous
Availability to work five days on site in Ryde
Applicants available immediately or at short notice are preferred; permanent candidates are also encouraged to apply.
