About the Opportunity
Do you have a genuine passion for working in a school for disengaged young People and helping them discover their future pathway, recovery, and hope?
We are looking for a highly organised and detail-oriented Project Administrator to join our team. The ideal candidate will assist in the planning and implementation of various projects while supporting the Director of People and Culture in coordinating and managing project tasks and activities at Alta-1 College.
Here’s some information about us:
At Alta-1 we recognise that adverse life experiences can impact a student’s sense of self-worth, motivation, and capacity for learning, making engagement in a mainstream school setting difficult.
As an independent, co-educational CARE (Curriculum and Reengagement in Education) School, Alta-1 is a Christian organisation that works with students from years 7-12. We provide students with wraparound support to guide them on a journey of recovery through a trauma-informed approach. This approach helps students acknowledge, confront, and resolve barriers that have impacted their ability to reach their full potential.
We believe in fostering a highly relational environment where students, teachers and staff develop meaningful connections based on trust, respect, and empathy. These relationships serve as the foundation for effective teaching and learning, allowing us to better understand and support the unique needs and aspirations of each student.
Now let’s talk about you:
The Project Administrator plays a pivotal role in supporting the Director of People & Culture, ensuring that every project runs smoothly from start to finish. Your innate love for order and meticulous attention to detail will set you up for success in this role.
You’re a natural problem solver whose ability to provide seamless project support in a dynamic and fast-paced environment will contribute to vital work that supports the College in achieving its strategic goals. You will wear multiple hats, handling everything from project documentation and data management to communication and workshop coordination.
You can build and maintain relationships with a wide range of stakeholders. Your excellent communication skills ensure that all project stakeholders remain involved and informed throughout the project lifecycle. Whether working independently or as part of a team, you bring adaptability, approachability, and warmth to every interaction.
Tech-savvy and versatile, you can switch between different systems and platforms with ease. Resourceful, you can assist with the creation of content and workshop assets. Your flexibility allows you to travel when necessary, supporting the delivery of workshops and other essential face-to-face meetings.
If successful, you will be responsible for the delivery of the best possible duty of care considering the values and objectives of Alta-1 College.
Here's a snapshot of the job:
