Enrolment Officer – Part-Time

Hensman Street Elementary | South Perth

Hensman Street Elementary (HSE) is looking for a warm, organised and enthusiastic Enrolment Officer to join our small and welcoming school community.

This is an important front-facing role within our school. For many families, our Enrolment Officer will be one of their first connections with HSE, so we are looking for someone with a cheery personality, excellent people skills and a genuine enthusiasm for helping families feel welcome.

We are a small independent school with a strong sense of community. Our approach to education values relationships, play, inquiry, creativity and giving children the time and space to learn and thrive. We are looking for someone who understands that enrolment is more than administration—it is about building relationships with prospective families and helping them understand whether HSE is the right school for their child.

About the Role

Working closely with the Head of School and administration team, the Enrolment Officer will coordinate and support the school’s enrolment process, from the first family enquiry through to commencement.

The role combines family engagement, communication and administration and would suit someone who enjoys working with people while also being highly organised behind the scenes.

Key responsibilities will include:

- Responding warmly and promptly to prospective family enquiries by phone and email.

- Building positive relationships with prospective and new families.

- Coordinating school tours, enrolment interviews, trial days and other enrolment activities.

- Following up enquiries and maintaining regular communication with prospective families.

- Managing enrolment applications and ensuring documentation is complete and accurate.

- Maintaining enrolment records, fees, databases, waiting lists and associated administrative systems.

- Preparing enrolment correspondence,



information packs and documentation.

- Supporting families through the enrolment and commencement process.

- Liaising with teaching and administration staff regarding prospective and incoming students.

- Managing general school administration ordering etc and assisting with payroll and bookkeeping as required.

- Identifying opportunities to improve enrolment processes and the experience of families engaging with HSE.

About You

We are looking for someone who brings positive energy to their work and is comfortable taking initiative rather than always waiting to be directed. HSE is a small school, which means every member of our team makes a difference. We aren't looking for someone who simply processes enrolment paperwork. We are looking for someone who will take ownership of the enrolment journey—someone who notices when a family needs following up, keeps processes moving, asks questions when needed and looks for ways to make things work better.

You will ideally be someone who is:

- Cheery, approachable and welcoming, with a natural ability to make people feel comfortable.

- An excellent communicator, both verbally and in writing.

- Highly organised with strong attention to detail.

- Confident managing multiple enquiries, tasks and priorities.

- Proactive and able to identify what needs to be done and follow it through.

- Reliable and able to work independently within a small team.

- Comfortable using databases, email, online systems and general office software.

- Professional and discreet when handling confidential information.





- Able to communicate sensitively with families and understand that every family's circumstances are different.

- Willing to learn about HSE's educational philosophy and confidently communicate what makes our school unique.

Previous experience in school administration, enrolments, reception, customer service, admissions, community engagement or a similar administrative role would be highly regarded; however, the right personality, initiative and organisational skills are equally important to us.
