Position Overview
An Office Administrator at The Augustine Academy is first and foremost a lover of Jesus Christ, and secondarily a lover of his human creatures, especially children. Within this relational context, the Office Administrator is responsible for modelling and encouraging a hopeful, high-joy, inspirational, and peacefully authoritative atmosphere. Every day the Office Administrator is to expect, uphold, shepherd, and specifically train students in the habits of the good life (students’ ways of relating to work and persons), which is, ultimately and ineluctably, sharing in the life of Jesus Christ. In a broad sense, the Office Administrator also represents the school in and out of the classroom and acts on behalf of the school by professionally and warmly interacting with all students, parents, teachers, staff and visitors.
The Office Administrator reports to the Headmaster and is primarily responsible for handling general office and operational tasks, as well as other varied relational and organizational responsibilities. The Office Administrator works closely with the school’s administration to establish and maintain a highly professional school environment and front office, providing support as needed. The Office Administrator serves all constituents of the school (administration, teachers, parents, students, and visitors) and becomes highly familiar with all policies related to school operations, as recorded principally in the Parent/Student Handbook and the Teacher Handbook. The Office Administrator acts as a primary point of contact for the school, professionally and warmly interacting with all teachers, staff, parents, students, and visitors, often in fast-paced and relationally intensive situations.
