What a great opportunity to work from the comfort of your own home AND contribute to NZ’s educational sector while doing so! Flexibility guaranteed!
A LITTLE ABOUT THE EMPLOYER
The School Executive Officers’ Association exists to promote the role and profile of Executive Officers in the school community and membership, and provide positive support for its members. For more information about the organisation, and its objectives, please look through our website.
- Loads of variety
- Opportunity to take ownership of your role
- Close knit, friendly association
- Supportive, flat management structure
Flexibility is critical in this role!
This is a newly created, three-year fixed term role. Hours of work may fluctuate on a monthly basis according to the nature of the position, so you will need to submit your timesheets of the hours you work. It is envisaged that the position will take about 800 hours per year, (approximately 15 hours per week) but you will be able to pick and choose the hours and days that you work, PROVIDED you meet the deadlines, and outcomes required within the role. The hourly rate is negotiable, and will reflect the individual’s skills and experience, combined with the demands of this role.
At times you will also need to travel to attend the Annual General Meeting, and other association meetings, so while the role offers flexibility, it also requires flexibility. It is envisaged that travel will be to Wellington for three scheduled meetings a year, and to the Annual General Conference, scheduled next year for Christchurch, and other occasional travel may be required from time to time. Travel and accommodation costs will be reimbursed.
This position will be based at your home office, so while you need to provide your own desk and workspace, you will be provided with laptop, phone etc. As the role can be based at a home office, this position can be based anywhere in New Zealand, provided the person can get to an airport and has access to Broadband at home.
To be successful in this role, you will enjoy taking ownership of your role, and undertaking a variety of administrative tasks. This is a great opportunity to utilise your passion for our education sector. It could also be advantageous if you have had experience in initiating positive change for our schools, and/or perhaps held a teaching or a support role within our schools.
