Administration Officer (Boarding and Health)

Administration Officer (Boarding and Health)
The Glennie School, Toowoomba

A welcoming manner and good organisation can make a real difference to a student’s day. At Glennie, we are seeking an experienced administrator who enjoys working with young people and can keep the practical details moving in a busy school environment.

Supporting our Health Centre and boarding community, you will be a familiar point of contact for students, families and staff. From arranging a medical appointment to helping organise travel, your work will help our boarding students feel supported while keeping daily arrangements on track.

About The Role

Working closely with the Health Centre staff, Director of Boarding and Heads of Boarding, you will:

• Respond to student and parent enquiries with friendly, helpful service.
• Coordinate medical appointments, transport and appointment paperwork, and escort boarders to appointments when required.
• Manage the administration of daytime leave, daily boarder movements and weekend boarding numbers.
• Arrange travel and communicate confirmed travel arrangements.
• Liaise with school departments to coordinate student commitments and requirements.
• Maintain accurate records and calendars, and provide administrative support to boarding leaders.
• Assist with Health Centre reception and supervise students when required, referring clinical concerns to nursing staff.

About You

You enjoy a role where the day can change quickly. You can work independently, follow through on details, and recognise when a matter needs to be referred to someone else. Just as importantly, you bring patience and warmth to your interactions with students and families.

You will have administration experience, strong communication skills, and confidence using software and learning new systems. Discretion and sound judgement are essential, particularly when handling confidential student information.

Experience in a school, health service, or residential setting would be valued, as would qualifications in business or medical administration.

A current Paid Blue Card is required before commencing. You will also need current First Aid and CPR certification, or be willing to obtain these before starting.

Working Hours

Monday to Friday, 7:00 am to 3:00 pm, with hours extended to 5:00 pm on Wednesdays.

This is a permanent full-time, term-time position plus two weeks, commencing in January 2027.
