Administrative Compliance and Improvement Lead

Anglican Care Waiapu (ACW), is the social services arm of the Anglican Diocese of Waiapu. Our services and programmes in the Bay of Plenty, Tairāwhiti, and Hawke’s Bay support tamariki, whānau, and communities with early childhood education, family services, grief counselling services, and older people programmes.

We have an exciting and varied opportunity for a capable and experienced Administrator. As part of the ACW Early Childhood Education (ECE) team you will support effective and consistent administration and compliance across our eight early childhood services (Waiapu Kids). The Administrative Compliance and Improvement Lead is a newly created role working 24 hours per week and reporting to our Education Manager. This is a great opportunity to get hands on and make the role your own.

**About the role**
This is not your standard administrative role as you’ll be supporting our ECE sector to implement initiatives which ensure compliance with internal and external regulations and policy. You’ll also be embedding sound administrative and business practices with a focus on sustainability and enhancing outcomes for children/tamariki and families/whānau. This role will also provide administrative support to the Education Manager.

You will work alongside the Education Manager to enhance administrative processes within the Waiapu Kids Centres. In doing this you will monitor the effectiveness of these processes and whether they care being consistently used and identify where improvements can be made. Additionally, you will provide leadership and training to the team of Centre Administrators.

Therefore, you must be able to multitask, juggle competing priorities, problem solve and complete end to end tasks. Attention to detail and being super organised must be strengths.

In return you’ll work in a supportive and encouraging environment that provides professional development, flexibility, and some opportunities to work from home.
