Centre Administrator

Are you looking for an administration role in a vibrant, Reggio-inspired centre filled with aroha, curiosity and laughter? We have the role for you at House of Wonder Chartwell in Hamilton.

We are looking for a warm, welcoming and professional superstar administrator to join our team at House of Wonder Chartwell. Our centre admin will play a key role in building and maintaining relationships within our centre community. You will provide a high level of support to the Centre Manager through effective management of administration systems and clear, friendly communication with whānau and external organisations.

At House of Wonder Chartwell, we cherish every child as a unique taonga and celebrate the richness of our multicultural community. Guided by Reggio Emilia principles, tuakana teina and whanaungatanga, we create a space where relationships, nature, and child led exploration sit at the heart of our days. You will be part of a team that values genuine connection, shared humour and heart led mahi for tamariki and their families.

This is a part time role offering 20 hours per week, Monday to Friday, with some flexibility.

Key Responsibilities:

• Face to face interactions with parents, children and visitors to the Centre

• Maintenance of our childcare management system (Discover) - data entry, data audits, parent invoicing and payment receipts

• Answering and directing telephone calls, timely, accurately and professionally 

• Daily and weekly reports and data collation as required by the Centre Manager

• Supplying information to our Support Office in line with daily and weekly reporting requirements

• Any other general admin-based tasks as required and requested

About You:

You are warm, friendly and welcoming, with outstanding customer service skills and a natural way with people from diverse backgrounds. You are tech savvy with strong computer skills, especially in MS Office, and bring exceptional organisation, attention to detail and time management. You can juggle priorities, solve problems calmly, and are happy to pitch in and support others when needed. Experience with childcare management systems, WINZ funding, accounts or invoicing is an advantage, but not essential for the right person with the right attitude.
 

In return for your commitment, we offer you a competitive remuneration package which includes subsidised childcare and an excellent induction programme with mentoring and ongoing opportunities for personal development

If you would like to be considered for this exciting opportunity to join us in providing exceptional administrative support, then please send your CV and cover letter today!

Please note: Applicants for this position should have NZ residency or a valid NZ work visa
