Since 1939, Blessed Sacrament Catholic School has partnered with families in Savannah to provide an exceptional Catholic education rooted in faith, academic excellence, and service. Founded under the guidance of Father James H. Conlin and the Sisters of Mercy, BSS continues a legacy of forming the whole child - mind, body, and spirit - in a community where students are known, challenged, supported, and inspired to become the people God created them to be.
OUR MISSION
Rooted in faith and committed to academic excellence, the community of Blessed Sacrament Catholic School prepares and empowers children to lead, love, and serve God, the Church, and the world. The work of a Catholic school happens in classrooms, but it is supported every day by people behind the scenes who help families find answers, keep information organized, prepare events, solve problems, meet deadlines, and make the school feel welcoming. Those details matter because they create the conditions in which teachers can teach, students can learn, and families can feel connected to their school.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Blessed Sacrament Catholic School is seeking a warm, organized, dependable, and highly professional Administrative Assistant to provide support to the Principal and administrative team. This position will help consolidate routine administrative responsibilities currently shared across several offices, strengthening communication, organization, customer service, and day-to-day school operations.
THE IDEAL CANDIDATE IS
Welcoming, courteous, calm, and comfortable working with children and adults. Exceptionally organized and able to manage details, deadlines, interruptions, and changing priorities. A clear communicator with strong writing, proofreading, phone, email, and interpersonal skills. Trustworthy and able to maintain strict confidentiality and discretion. Technologically comfortable with Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, online forms, databases, calendars, and school-information systems. A self-starter who can work independently while also being a collaborative member of an administrative team. Service-minded and supportive of the mission and values of Catholic education.
PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES
Support the Principal with scheduling, correspondence, calls, messages, meetings, documents, and follow-up. Provide shared administrative support for routine work connected to communications/admissions, finance, student services, and school operations.

COMPENSATION

WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS
