We are seeking two Admin Assistants to join the founding team of a new international school in Amaala. These roles sit at the heart of the school’s daytoday operations, supporting school leadership and contributing to a welcoming, wellrun environment for students, families, and staff.
This is a joint application process for two roles. While we have identified some broad areas of focus, responsibilities will be shared and adjusted based on the strengths of the candidates and the evolving needs of the school. Flexibility and teamwork are essential.
Please note: Native Arabic is highly will be required for the two positions.
The role
Admin Assistants support the effective running of the school by assisting leadership and administrative colleagues with a range of daily operational, organisational, and communication tasks. You will often be the first point of contact for the school and play an important role in ensuring systems, records, and information are handled professionally and calmly.
The role requires an ability to:
Respond to priorities as they arise and adapt to changing needs
Work closely with school leadership and other administrative staff
Communicate clearly with families, staff, and external contacts

Indicative areas of focus
While both Admin Assistants will support the school together, here is an indication of the slightly different profiles are responsibilities:
Operational and logistical support.
Communication and community support.
Both Admin Assistants will also provide shared reception support, including managing enquiries and welcoming visitors.
If required, they may be asked to remain stationed at the reception desk of one of the school buildings to ensure continuous coverage.
Both Admin Assistants will be responsible for maintaining and updating digital platforms (e.g. MySEK). They will receive the necessary training and ongoing support to upload documentation to Aconex and to update other internal platforms as required.
These are not fixed roles, and duties may shift as the school develops.
