Student Operations Coordinator

Role Overview

The Student Operations Coordinator is a central member of the centre team, responsible for keeping student scheduling, parent coordination, room planning, and internal administration running smoothly. The role calls for someone with strong organisational discipline, the ability to stay composed in a busy environment, and a sharp eye for details while handling several priorities at once.

In this position, you will help shape the everyday experience for students and parents by making sure timetables are well managed, communication remains clear, centre resources are used efficiently, and on-site operations stay organised. You will also supervise in-house Student Success interns and support the overall functioning of the centre.

• Manage scheduling conflicts, last-minute changes, and other operational issues with strong follow-through.
• Help set and manage parent expectations around lesson timing, attendance, and scheduling matters.

Student Experience and Inventory

• Keep student-facing supplies organised, available, and replenished as needed.
• Contribute to a welcoming, well-prepared, and student-friendly environment.
• Support a positive in-centre experience for both students and parents.

Intern Supervision and In-Centre Support

• Guide and coordinate Student Success interns in their daily responsibilities.
• Delegate tasks, monitor progress, and maintain standards for operational support work.
• Make sure interns contribute effectively to both front-facing and back-end centre tasks.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work with educators, parents, and internal colleagues to keep lesson operations aligned.
