Vacant job

Do you enjoy working with varied tasks and having many social contacts? This might be the right job for you! We are currently offering the opportunity to work as an Administrative Coordinator for preschools and schools in Östernärke, based at Odenskolan.

About the position

Welcome to Östernärke's schools and preschools! As an Administrative Coordinator, you will collaborate closely with principals and serve as their closest support. The role involves responsibilities such as premises management, economy and budget, procurement coordination, fire safety/security, cleaning, personnel matters, and general administrative support. You will act as the link between the cleaning companies and the property owners. In this position, you will handle daily inquiries arising from various parts of the operations. As the Administrative Coordinator, you will work independently, requiring the ability and willingness to proactively seek information to answer questions and solve current problems. You will have many colleagues working closely with you, but everyone has their own professions and different types of tasks. Working in a school environment is both exciting and educational, and you will have many balls in the air. You will be based at Odenskolan but will have responsibility for all schools in Östernärke, traveling between the schools and preschools.

Examples of duties:

• Ongoing work with budgeting.
• Contact with external parties such as cleaning companies, property owners, etc.
• Support management in compiling results, developing action plans, revising documents, etc.

About the workplace

The Östernärke school area has preschools in Stora Mellösa, Odensbacken, Asker, Hampetorp, and Kilsmo. Travel between these preschools occurs, and you will receive mileage allowance for this.

Within the Preschool and Primary School Administration, approximately 4,530 employees work. We meet young people in Örebro from their first day in preschool to their last day in primary school. Together, we are responsible for contributing to equal conditions for young people in Örebro and laying the foundation for learning that extends throughout life. With trust and courage, we build our preschools and schools together. We take on the challenges of the future for the best of every child.

Qualifications

To thrive in this role, we see that you have good problem-solving skills and social skills, and that you can maintain good relationships with, for example, property owners, cleaning companies, and not least with principals and other staff. You must also be able to read budgets and forecasts and provide qualitative support to the principal. Furthermore, you must master the Swedish language in speech and writing at a level that allows you to handle documentation and oral communication with both internal and external contacts in an appropriate manner. We also see that you have good knowledge of economics, including a basic understanding of economic flows, payment flows, accounting, and invoicing, as well as good handling of tables and formulas. We also require experience working in the Office package, primarily Excel and Word.

Requirements:
