Start Date: As soon as available

Due to an internal promotion, an exciting opportunity has opened for an adaptable, customer-focused Receptionist to join our vibrant team. This 37.5 hours per week, term-time only vacancy is available from as soon as you are available.

Rangitoto College offers an exceptional education to over 4200 Domestic and International students and over 400 staff. Our reception is a busy mix of parents, the educational sector, student contractors, and service delivery visitors so no two days are the same.

We are in search of a competent administrator with strong English-Chinese translation skills. The successful applicant will be supporting our Chinese Community while showcasing their exceptional reception and administration skills. Rangitoto is a college that encourages its staff to use initiative while providing ongoing professional development.

The primary purpose of this position is to provide high-quality translation, reception, and administrative services. The successful applicant will undertake tasks of a diverse nature and at all times deliver timely, accurate, and innovative administrative support services that meet school needs. These include:

• Providing high-quality verbal and written English–Chinese translation services at reception
• Ensuring priority to front-of-house phone, courier, and visitor contact
• Distribution of incoming emails and information line requests
• Maintain excellent working relationships with administration, enrolments, Deans secretary, senior leaders secretary, HR manager, and teaching staff.

Our successful applicant will thrive in our collegial, supportive bustling environment. Your previous manager will attest to your ability to attend to visitors while juggling couriers, staff, and incoming calls and applaud your ability to relate to people of all levels, cultures, and ages in a calm and welcoming manner.

Experience in a school environment is a bonus although initiative, critical thinking empathy, and adjusting to the ebb and flow of school life is paramount. High-level professional English fluency (written & spoken) is a requirement.
