This is a part time role offering 30 hours per week, Monday to Friday, with some flexibility.

About us:

Busy Bees Pioneer Highway is a well loved centre with a strong sense of community and a team who genuinely enjoy working together. Our two purpose built buildings, generous outdoor spaces and Healthy Heart award winning food programme make this a vibrant and welcoming place to work. The Centre Administrator is an important part of how we operate, supporting families with enrolments and daily queries, assisting kaiako with documentation and compliance, and managing centre systems with accuracy and warmth.

Relationship building comes naturally to you and you are comfortable speaking with families, kaiako and support office teams. You enjoy problem solving and can move between tasks while keeping calm and focused. Previous experience in administration or customer service would be an advantage, along with confidence using Microsoft Office and learning new systems. Most importantly, you care about people and take pride in keeping things running smoothly.
