Faculty of Business & Law Over 13,000 students from more than 140 countries are studying undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Curtin Business School and Curtin Law School at the Faculty of Business and Law.

We have considerable experience and influence in providing high-quality and transformative education and research across Australia and the Asian region. One of our great strengths is our ability to produce industry-ready graduates.

Our researchers help resolve business challenges. We deliver real results through collaborative research, developed in partnership with key stakeholders which can be applied to any organisation.

The Administrative Officer coordinates and undertakes general administrative activities which support the day-to-day operational effectiveness of the area. In this case, the 0.6 role will support the Faculty's Dean of Research and the Research Portfolio and the 0.4 role will support the Faculty Office more broadly. Both roles may act as the main point of contact and will be responsible for all general support and administrative activities of the functional area.

  • In liaison with the University's Travel Team, arrange and coordinate travel arrangements for staff and visitors in accordance with the Travel Procedure and ensure all travel details are reviewed and accurate.
  • Liaise with relevant area stakeholder and University functional areas (e.g. People and Culture, Finance, Properties, and Corporate Relations) to ensure specific work is completed as necessary.
  • Undertake other activities which the incumbent might reasonably be expected to do, and which are consistent with the accountabilities and responsibilities as listed above.

    • We are looking for:

  • Completion of a diploma and considerable relevant work experience; or an equivalent combination of relevant work experience and education/training.
  • Excellent time management and organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple and often competing tasks, prioritise activities and meet deadlines.
  • Advanced computer skills, particularly in the Microsoft suite of applications.
  • Strong attention to accuracy and detail.
  • Effective oral and written communication skills with a well-developed cross-cultural sensitivity and diplomacy.
  • Demonstrated initiative and problem-solving skills.
  • Proven ability to work well in a team, including respecting difference, supporting others, accepting direction and working to group goals.
  • A willingness to help out other team members and to conduct tasks outside the parameters of this job description if required.
  • Previous experience in a tertiary environment would be highly regarded.

    • What we offer you:

  • Collegial and collaborative team environment.
  • Professional development opportunities.
  • A vibrant campus with gym, childcare, wellness programs, medical and counselling services.
  • A generous superannuation scheme.
  • A flexible working environment.
