Centre Administrator (BestStart Pipiwai Rd)
About the Role
We’re on the lookout for a well-organised, approachable, and proactive Centre Administrator to join our warm and welcoming team. This is a key role that supports the daily operations of our centre, helping us deliver exceptional care and early learning experiences while ensuring compliance with Ministry of Education requirements.
No two days are the same in this busy, varied role. You'll be the first point of contact for our whānau, providing outstanding customer service while managing bookings, responding to enquiries, maintaining accurate parent accounts, and overseeing payments and direct debits. You’ll also ensure we meet important deadlines and support the centre with general admin tasks.
You’ll need a sharp eye for detail, strong organisational skills, and confidence using IT systems—particularly Excel, Word, and Outlook. While most of your work will be admin-focused, you’ll also enjoy the occasional chance to connect with our tamariki.
You’ll be well-supported by our National Admin Support team, who offer helpdesk assistance and ongoing training to help you succeed. A comprehensive induction and established procedures will ensure you feel confident and prepared from day one.
What We Offer:
- A strong National Support team
- Access to Whare Ako, our online learning platform
- Opportunities to grow your career—we’ll support your professional development
- $2,000 bonus when you refer a qualified teacher*
Wellbeing Benefits:
- Subsidised health insurance with Southern Cross*
- Free annual flu vaccinations
- Access to confidential counselling (EAP)
- Wellbeing programmes
- Sick leave from your first day
- One week of additional leave after 10 years of service
What We’re Looking For:
- A team player with excellent communication skills
- A compassionate and professional approach to working with whānau
- Solid understanding of account processes and resolving customer queries
- Fast learner with strong attention to detail and time management skills
- Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Word, and Outlook
- A passion for providing outstanding customer service
