Holy Cross, South Bend - School, Front Office Administrative Assistant

Front Office Administrative Assistant:

As the first face and voice of our school, the Administrative Assistant serves as the heartbeat of the front office. This role is a unique blend of high-level logistical coordination and deep pastoral care. You will be the primary point of contact for students, parents, and staff—often seeing them at their highest highs (celebrating birthdays) and their lowest lows (sickness or distress). This position requires a heart for accompaniment, a spirit of mercy, and the ability to remain a calm, stabilizing force in a fast-paced environment. A candidate for this position must know and be flexible to the fact that interruptions are a frequent occurrence. The responsibilities of the Administrative Assistant include answering phones, tracking and inputting attendance into Power School, unjamming copiers, attending to student needs and occasional paperwork as the day-to-day "school nurse," helping edit the weekly school newsletter, and other duties as assigned or needed throughout the school day.

Note:

Bilingual applicants (English/Spanish) will be prioritized. Because we serve a large number of Spanish-speaking staff, students, and families, the ability to answer emails, handle phone calls, and greet walk-in visitors in Spanish is a core requirement of this role.
