The Role

As a Human Resource Officer (Relief Coordination) at Kalamunda SHS, you will ideally provide organised and responsive support across staff leave, daily relief and broader human resource administration. The role includes coordinating relief arrangements, assisting with staff timetabling and rostering, and helping ensure day-to-day staffing needs are managed smoothly.

Suitable applicants will ideally contribute to a range of human resource processes, including payroll processing and validation, mandatory reporting, Working with Children Checks, criminal screening,



pre-employment requirements and appointment documentation.

Experience using or monitoring systems such as SIS, SIS Cover, Compass, HRMIS and Microsoft Excel would be highly regarded, along with previous experience in a school or education-based human resources environment.

Solid communication, organisation and problem-solving skills are highly valued, particularly the ability to manage changing priorities, exercise sound judgement and build positive working relationships with staff across the school.

Experience in coordination, project management or administrative roles that involve planning, negotiation and managing competing priorities would also be highly desirable.
