Executive Assistant

Experienced Executive Assistant to the Co-Principal

Short-term | Part-time | Peregrine, Nicholls Rivulet

I’m looking for an experienced EA to work alongside me during Term 4, while our school navigates an unusual period outside normal operations. The role will require the EA to quickly get to know how I work and the demands of my role as a school Principal, and use their expertise to identify where their support can make the biggest difference.

Given the short timeframe, I’m looking for someone who can step into the role with confidence, bring their own experience and perspective, and work with a high degree of autonomy.

This is a professional role requiring excellent judgement, discretion and initiative. You’ll be working closely with me and across different parts of the school community, with a need to quickly understand priorities, relationships and context.

You don’t need experience in education, but you do need strong EA experience and the ability to quickly understand a busy and complex working environment.

Peregrine is a small independent school in the Huon Valley from Kindergarten to Year 10. Our roots are in Democratic Education, with relationships, student agency and community all central to how the school operates. We value professional autonomy, open communication and people who are comfortable contributing their own ideas and expertise.

A valid Working With Vulnerable People Card is required to work on our school site.

Contract: Term 4, 2026 (October 19 - December 18), with the possibility of extension in the new school year. 
Hours: Part-time, with days and hours to be negotiated
Salary: $45/ hr + super
Location: Peregrine, Nicholls Rivulet
